Tell her your hero is Tarl Cabot, and then give her a Gor novel to read. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rug Burn \* > \*\*So, she likes to be on top…excellent. Maybe she could invite a few of her sisters to join in the fun. \*\* I believe this to be the best advice you’re going to get here. Perhaps she and two or three of her “sisters” would be willing to demonstrate for you exactly how unnecessary men can be. Then you can jump in and demonstrate how useful we really are. You know, by painting the house, mowing the lawn, that sort of thing. ---

So she dislikes the current government and thinks current policies undercut the progress made in the sixties and seventies. Whoop-de-friggin’-do. I think you guys are reading a little too much into this. ---

Quite frankly I’m disappointed with my patriarchal hegemony it hasn’t done all that much good in keeping women down. Hell they couldn’t even keep women from posting in this thread. I guess they don’t make patriarchal hegemonies like they used to. Funny one of my best friend talks in terms like that (she’s a anarchist punk) but I think even she wouldn’t put that in her first email to someone even if that person believed in things like that. ---

> [@](#): > > The only box I will subscribe to is the feminist box. I deeply believe that there is a patriarchal hegemony which has sought to destroy every element of equality my sisters fought for in the 60’s and 70’s. I think that the current government, and its imposition of its own extremely conservative views has contributed to increasing disempowerment of women, and it makes me really angry. > > What about you?

I agree with Coldfire. It’s a test. Maybe she’s a political whack job, but she could also be a canny babe screening out people who lacks brains or backbone. I suggest sending her a message along these lines: "Well, I don’t know what you mean by feminist. I’m not part of the government. I’m a pretty fair-minded guy and I firmly believe in the equality and empoerment of all humans, women or men, black or white. I’d love to discuss politics with you if you’re open to a good discussion. But in the meantime, why don’t we break the ice with a few jokes? I’ve got one: How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb?" If she comes back with the right punchline you’ve got a winner. ---
