I have to protest, again, against The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense. It assumes women are always the victims and men always the attackers. For reasons I dare not say even now, I grew up knowing this was not true.

But what words did it have for men who were oppressed, not opressors? That we were actually the oppressors, we just didn't know it. We should struggle to be more sensitive so that some day we might realize just how horrible and despicable we really were.
