Well, I guess you are right that we could, and I certainly agree that the 
label is fitting, but I wouldn't agree that we should do that.  
Patriarchists are defensive enough and unwilling to change and unwilling 
to listen to me and others as we try to explain why their mindset is so 
damaging to us.  Calling them an imflamatory label won't make them any 
more recpetive than them calling me a "femi-nazi" would make me receptive 
to their ideas.  The less external labeling and name-calling that goes 
on, the better.  That was my only point.  Your point is well-taken, however.

Take care,
