    What a Neanderthal!

    Only someone who hasn't suffered the oppression and discrimination that women and gay men experience on a regular basis would be ignorant and insensitive enough to use the word "sissy" in order to "push . . . outrage buttons." Strausbaugh comes across more like a school-yard bully than any kind of skilled or insightful writer. How quickly can we make his 15 minutes of odiious fame tick by?
