Hehee. You've never lived in Massachusetts, have you? I grew up in Southern PA, and never encountered anything like this, except from a few silly high-school girls who thought they were cool. But here in Mass, femi-nazi is an understatement. I *have* actually encountered real people who spell it "womyn." And who do other silly things (we actually have a store on main street that's closed on Monday "in protest of Columbus Day.") That mindset really is the predominant one around here, believe it or not. And it gets really hard- well, not hard so much as annoying- to deal with after a while. :-{
