female members

[Guest guest]

It has come to my attention that there may be female members in this

group who feel that some of the remarks of some of the members,

well, I mean my remarks, have been offensive or insensitive. It is

my understanding that a female member or some female members may

have complained to the manager of this group about certain remarks.

I want to respond to that matter.

The first thing I want to say is that prostate cancer is first a

man's problem. If a man is married or has a close woman friend or

friends, i.e. lovers, paramours, etc., certainly they are involved

in the problem. Having prostate cancer can result in erectile

dysfunction or impotence. These problems can be very emotional for

men. I personally am interested in finding out everything I can

about these problems from a scientific point of view and from the

actual experiences of men. I am not bothered by slang and

expressions that some of the female members might consider to be

crude. Four letter words don't bother me. Sometimes I like to hear

those expressions, they are easier to relate to. Sometimes they are

amusing. There may be anecdotes that a man might like to relate to

other men who are experiencing some of the problems.

Apparently this discussion group is a place where men cannot talk

openly about certain topics for fear of offending the girls. So be

it. If anybody can direct me to a group where discussions can be

frank, I would appreciate someone telling me about it.
