I probably don' belong in this conversation because I'm a
   bachelor with no desire for relationships, serial or polygamous.
   Last relationship was a disaster in my mid 20s, She was
   forceful, I was passive. I was manipulated emotionally and I got
   out of it. I was burned. I don't hate women for it or anybody, I
   just knew the drama wasn't my style. I believe in a partnership
   of equals, insomuch as is possible given whatever biological
   difference may remain to prevent full equality (if they do make
   that much of a difference to rational/emotive beings that are
   capable of empathy). But at present, this might as well be
   talking about aliens on Mars. smile emoticon
