If indeed there are no women on the list I beleive
the last one perhaps would have left at rate when the
conversation turned to masterbation (a typically locker 
room-type male obsession).

Everyone knows women can be just as crude and rude as 
any of the boys. But I think at times the Boys club 
atmosphere is a bit stifling at off-putting at times.

My wife regularly reads some of these posts and I asked
her what she thought of it. She simply said "Guys..." and
added "so what if your sister wanted to subscribe? Would 
*she* be impressed?"

Therefore, I'm resolved to abstain from overtly offensive
guy talk in an effort to reduce my own alienation quotient.

Sorry guys :)
