duh whats an old geezer want with meta sexual threads .It seemed like some venting was going on about improper name calling and general insensitivity .As a geezer male I have felt unjustly accused of being a pig just for being a male but always tried to realize the frustration of females living in this hooters world that moves one step forward and 10 steps back .
