Re: any women here?



I would have to say that many of us do the invisiable ray thing but that it is without malice and that we don't know we do it. I know I do and I also know that I feel bad and try to correct it when I do. But many of us are just stupid about such things and geeks tend to be worse about it. So in short sorry but cut us poor inept males a bit of slack please?
