I think what I said still stands. Anything so directly "gender
specific" will not
be of much interest to the opposite.... and considering the
predominately male
make up (no pun) of this list ( and any mod scene in general) one could
guess the
outcome of any such topic being broached...(Phew...) Just a bit of
common sense I think.
Not to slam the female gender in any way, shape or form. I happen to
like the female gender
in many ways, shapes and forms.
