Women and TLUG - a personal rant

[John Moniz]

Folks, I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm not convinced that we are 
reading Zb correctly. Oddly enough, as I read what I think he might be 
saying, he just might be trying to sympathise with Renata's situation, 
not dismiss it. Unfortunately, his retorts and explanations don't clear 
up anything.
