ORIGINAL: respectmen Yes, Tweakabelle, just for hating almighty superior feminism a person is a neanderthal, he's angry, he's a misogynist, hail feminism yada yada yada I know it's possible that people might regard you as a stupid turd because of your beliefs. It is also possible, that it might be because you're a stupid turd. I can certainly tell you that, as a hetero, white, middle class, male, I don't feel in the least bit threatened by feminism. I'm not a feminist because I want to be "hip with the sisterhood", I'm a feminist because I want the best possible outcome for society, I want to work with the best people, and I want to compete on equal terms with people regardless of their sexual identity, color or sexuality. I know that some men feel terribly threatened, they're the people I tend not to befriend, they're the losers that cling desperately to the crumbling remains of patriarchy because without it they would be fuck all. You sound like one of these losers RM, you sound as if you just don't feel as if you can cope. And I do feel a little sorry for you. To be so weak, to feel so disempowered, it must be humiliating. But, you know, I bet if you dig deep, you might be able to find something of worth in yourself, something that you can use to build up your self respect. Good luck with that! In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy the benefits of a more equal society, the privilege of working with the brilliant and talented women I have in my team, and a future in which the tired old presumptions that the patriarchy depended on are gradually eroded away. In fact... fuck it! I'll continue to work to make sure it happens. No Crazy, I think that you are wrong. This is what he reminds a person of: RM: "What are you doing this weekend" Me: "My daughter and I are running a 5K to help raise money to help the bison." RM: "What?! What about the dolphins?!?!?!" Me: "What about them?" RM: "Typical bison lovers! Don't care about the dolphins! Don't you know that so-so people are harpooning the dolphins!" Me: "Yeah, but we want to raise money for the bison by running this 5K. It'll be fun. Wanna come?" RM: "No! Gotta larf. You say you love animals but you really hate them! WHY WON'T YOU SAVE THE DOLPHINS!?!?!?!?"
