p> TRYING HARD br> Re: Dave Shiflett's Mo Needs a Man : /p>

I am trying to maintain decorum as I respond to Mr. Shiflett's April 12, 2002 column on New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. This was a sexist personal attack. Mr. Shiflett could not possibly know what it is like for a potential mate to feel threatened or powerless because of the other's salary or career.

He writes "....all those aggressive female primates, after a busy day of dominating their jungle, were primed for sex, not for the withholding of it." Why does everything comes down to sex?

Mr. Shiflett makes it worse by equating Ms. Dowd to a primate at the Bronx Zoo. This is disgusting.

I will not bow down to his level by commenting on the author of the article, even if he comes from a small town as Midlothian, Virginia. Obviously, there is not much to do in this town!
