SFF Book Club - WELCOMES MEN Lulu said that I alienated men with one of my cartoons, in my other SFF Book Club post. I assume she meant the one about the men's book club. I removed that cartoon. Let's hear your opinions. Men, were you really offended by that cartoon? Elaine Shuel |

Thanks for all those comments. I was surprised that the cartoon I put would have offended anyone. I hope by now that everyone knows me enough to know I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Elaine Shuel

Lulu, it depends on interpretation. To alienate could mean to offend and I took it that way. I just found this definition online: alienate verb antagonize, anger, annoy, offend, irritate, hassle (informal), gall, repel, estrange, piss off (taboo slang), lose the affection of, disaffect Regardless, my intention was never to have men feel that they shouldn't be part of the discussion. I understand what you are saying, given men weren't replying. I just don't think it had anything to do with that cartoon. Elaine Shuel

Thanks for your comment, Bill. I don't worry about offending. I just don't wish to offend. There is a difference. I do stand up for myself if someone says something that I disagree with, as everyone should. Lulu, wasn't trying to cause any issues. She wanted to hear what men read. She thought the cartoon kept men from replying. I disagree with that but her motives were pure. Elaine Shuel

Amusing group name. It's too bad that those who read many books, aren't more active about sharing. Elaine Shuel
