Words from the Monastery (anthony.dauer@erols.com)

As I've said before ... I don't see any reason why a genre
cannot be "boys only" ... girls and boys don't only look
different, but they think different too and a big part of
being hardboiled is the mindset of the character ... an old
school masculinity that a female writer can emulate, but a
female character can only pull it off in drag ... equality is
a nice thing when it comes to treatment, but to say a genre
has to have it's female or male equivalent is
ludicrous.
volente Deo,
