I am afraid their behavior made me so mad I have to go think about why I want to smash things. I do think, in your position, I would have asked for the rest of the group's attention to se if the whole agreed with the two who spoke to you, and then I would have suggested gently that they reword their notice. Then I would have left and come back with a flamethrower and my savage wolfhound and eaten all their knitting.<BR/><BR/>How many years of feminism will it take to raise their consciousness a) that if they meant _women_ they should say WOMEN?<BR/> and b, maybe they should get over being grossed out by your incredibly threatening macho-ness and talked about hoohoos and placentas in front of you and tried to gross YOU out.

I'm active with the stitch and bitch group here in DC and also the MenKnit group. The more spaces and communities one can be a part of is better -- in my book.<BR/>For those who've mentioned wanting to form a knitting group, I hope you'll take advantage of the little how-to info page that's on the menknit site http://www.menknit.net/startgroup.html<BR/>Just suggestions from our attempts to start our group here in DC. The Chicago group has gotten ahold of us about setting up a menknit email too. chicago@menknit.net<BR/>Anyway. I'm psyched to know that Chicago is getting a men's knitting group. I so would've loved it when I lived there four years ago.danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501469029448722466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1136860585797115832006-01-09T21:36:00.000-05:002006-01-09T21:36:00.000-05:00Very well said---the option to post anonymously is...Very well said---the option to post anonymously is there, but if you truly believe what you are typing into that little text box isn't it worth signing your name?<BR/><BR/>I can appreciate everyone's need to be with those who understand them best from time to time. <BR/><BR/>AnnAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483640765158526073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1136856383547113042006-01-09T20:26:00.000-05:002006-01-09T20:26:00.000-05:00I'm jealous . . .
