Kym, if you said that you thought men and women were equal overall, but that
men were superior in X ways and that women were superior in Y ways, and
someone else insisted, as well as publicly expressed the opinion, that you
thought that men were inferior, would you want that individual as a friend?

If anyone deliberately and maliciously distorts the meaning of what others
say, as you have of what I have said, I hope the TS does not listen to them.

Since I have said that I thought men and women are basically equal, and you
have so strenuously rejected what I have said, I conclude that you are
fighting for inequality.

You were not willing to accept me as such.  You prefer falsely
characterizing what I have said.
