What a delightfully positive view to take. I meant that the opposoite of a man who hates women is a woman who hates men, and you took it to be the opposite of hate is love.! Porquetta wishes to point out though, that while women's lovers have polite titles as per your list above, women who love men indiscrinminately are not afforded nice names - think of them - can you conme up with a polite term for a woman who has many lovers? mistress,leyman.hussy?, slut, fallen woman, hooker, whore, and so on. Porquetta also recently learned that when her human (me!) was at college, the men students referred to the women students as 'pigs'. She is not sure if that was a compliment !
