Agirl:  Actually I'm quite confortable with my masculinity.  I've never felt the need to "beat my chest" or bully others to display my gender.  I am a sentimental old man and would never deny it.  If you feel that demonstates a lack of masculinity, that OK by me, since your opinion on the issue is of little importance to me.  My comfort with my masculinity is in no way dependent on your opinion.  

I suggest you study the definition of both racism as discrimination....they are truly horrible concepts and actions. Opposing the ideals of white supremacy is NOT racism.  Supporting equal opportunity and fair treatment for racial and ethic minorities is NOT racism.  Several posters on this site (GBA is a good example..as, it seems, are you) equate opposing racism to racism...It is not the same.  Racism is harmful; it is hateful; it is, IMO, evil in every way.  Equating opposing evil to evil is ridiculous.  Gary Crum
