Glad you posted here again, about this concern Medusa.
Sorry, you got batted down a bit with "but, men are victimss too" when you first reached out here on this topc, on YOUR SITE... (Which reminded me of some of us friends in town talking one night about a female friend of our getting banged up by her boyfriend - and one person said, "well, women are batterers too"!)
Yuck. Missed the point. Big time.
I encourage you to get all of the support you possibly can. TO ME, what you have started up here IS AKIN to building the friggin' Starship Enterprise from your kitchen table!
Now me, being the good technophobe that I am, would handle it this way:
So, I bow down to you (looked for that emoticon and could NOT find it)!?

Anyway, also wanted to mention that when I wondered into chat the other night, with that NEW FORMAT from the original - and you guys gave out a holler, and I was so excited I knew someone... and they knew me, AND I couldn't figure OUT WHERE THE HELL to answer and... then "changed the channel?"" or some damn thing... (?!) and never could find you again.
Thus, I did not blow anyone's "hello's" off! Really.
Now, I see there are MANY places to go for everyone there. But, why did I start out on that - where YOU guys happened to be, and "where was it, anyway?", (if you even remember)... and I'm wondering since the site had to be rebooted after that, will I be back "on track" when I try again to go back on chat? (i.e. What determines where you open up to, when you first go on there - like where you last were perhaps?) Because I last was LOST! That night, I kept re-opening the chat and was still on that changed channel - alone (lol)
wherever that was. I tried to do this private message to Jack then there (on chat?) to help out, but didn't get a response. I don't know if he got it or not... (?)
Making no bones about my stupidity here.

And finally, this post of yours, the link - reminded me of high school, wondering why I HAD to take HOME EC. class! Blech!! But, by my senior year I signed on for wood shop, the first female to do so. That felt MUCH more to my comfort zone. I know, this is a little bit of a derail (actually two of them), but there is a point in here somewhere to this thread topic - honest.
SMILE,
