Steve, you wrote "I obviously recognise that a female prejudice against males is different to a white person's prejudice against black people."

Is it, though? How is it different?

This question was dramatised well in an episode of "Rosanne". A black man comes to her door and she reacts (rudely) in fear. I think she slams the door in his face. Then later she encounters him in another situation and apologizes, explaining herself thus: "I wasn't scared of you because you're black, I was scared of you because you're a man."

So - how is it different?
