>>
>> ... it is important to recognize that the undiminished pronouns

>> are connected, in the minds of many men, to the pronouns they used
>> to refer to their male deities. Even when not capitalized, many men
>> believe that an undiminished pronoun is not merely a title of honor

>> Only Meitner had both the ability and the necessity of making
>> such a momentous discovery. The penis-bearing morons were all
>> great men and their careers were assured. But Jews, women, and
>> other subhumans were destined only for the gas ovens of Auschwitz,
>> to be used for slave labor, and turned into soap. ...
>>
>>
>> Einstein always spoke of Meitner as, "The Mother of the Bomb,"...
>> Our own Defense Intelligence Agency suppressed Einstein's later
>> papers. Can you think of a reason why? ... Can you
>> think of ANY reason for suppressing Einstein's later papers, other
>> than that by crediting Meitner with the discovery of fission he
>> would have given ammunition to those who were fighting to open up
>> educational opportunities to women in America?
>>
>>
>>
>> It was not respect for American women that had male doctors strapping
>> women to stretchers on their backs with their legs spread and their
>> hands tied down. It was to slow the birth process, make it more
>> difficult and painful, and give the doctor more ability to schedule
>> it so as not to interfere with his golf game. ...
>>
>>
>> And to anyone who is about to flame me for offending men in this
>> group by expressing my anger, go right ahead. Somebody has to defend
>> the rapists, incestuous fathers, anbandoners, batterers, non-payers
>> of child support, discriminatory employers, harassing co-workers,
>> and other bums, why not you?
