[Smt-talk] Fwd: So All Men Are Guilty And Responsible For The Reality Of History?

[Gregory Karl]

I had been following the recent discussions on SMT-talk with some  
interest and, I thought, excellent comprehension until the note  
quoted below from Donna Doyle. I am wondering about the provenance of  
its subject line. By its format one must assume it was a response to  
a post with the subject line "So All Men Are Guilty And Responsible  
For The Reality Of History?", but I saw no such prior post. (If such  
a post was published and I somehow missed it, I would appreciate it  
if someone could forward it to me.) I am also confused about the  
biographical note from Ms. Doyle that followed and about the person,  
only identified as "you," to whom it is addressed.

I have come to expect the correspondents in the discussions I am  
reading on SMT-talk to be clearly identified. Any help in clarifying  
these issues will be appreciated.

>> No, I did not say that "all men are guilty."

>> Here are a few facts about me:
>> 	My father died when I was 12.
>> 	At 20, I left my oppressive, jealous mother, who did almost  
>> everything she could to stifle me,
>> 		wanting little more for me than to be married and pregnant (not  
>> necessarily in that order).
>> 		("I want to enjoy my grandchildren while I'm still young.")
>> 	I worked my way through my BM and MM as a waitress and free-lance  
>> musician.
>> 	I lived in a small studio apt and rode a bicycle around  
>> Manhattan, because I couldn't afford to take
>> 		the subway, for 15 years.
>> 	I was seriously sexually harassed by a dept chair at my previous  
>> college. The dean feared I would sue.
>> 		After learning that women who win discrimination lawsuits are  
>> blacklisted as troublemakers, I left quietly.
>> 	I have not yet finished my PhD (after 15 yrs) because I've had to  
>> work as an adjunct/free-lancer ever since.
>>
>> When I write my autobiography (as others have urged) perhaps  
>> you'll understand my position. I happen to like men
>> alot and actually, for whatever reasons, prefer male company to  
>> female. Just the way it is (my mother, perhaps : ) ).
>> Men who know me know this. It's unfortunate that you've laid so  
>> many assumptions on me. I, like Magic Johnson,
>> have a right to express outrage.
>>
>> It's unfortunate that you had it rough, too. Life is not fair. All  
>> we can do is forge forward from wherever
>> we are. Never give up on yourself.
