Typical.

Posted by: Simon Brunning on March 18, 2005 02:22 PMIt's not misogynistic to recognise that men and women are different.
Though, saying "they are all witches" could be construed in that way...

Posted by: witho on March 18, 2005 03:29 PMGiven that Simon has daughters, I think he's going to have trouble in the long run keeping up this whole 'they're all witches' thing. Anyway, if I didn't know already that it as a big front, I'd be deeply offended. Don't listen to him - he doesn't mean it.
