It's all very clear now...
Don Imus was actually using NY Lesbion lingo to describe womens championship in terms of Spike Lee's movie "School Daze." This was merely a case of miscommunication between mutually exclusive cross sub-cultural discourse.

Who are these "women", Brightstar, et al?
You keep saying "Women do this" and "Women do that"...well? Who are these women?
I've been around the block a few times, in my 47 years, and with one exception, every guy I've ever dated/loved/lived with/married has been a nice guy. The one who wasn't didn't last long. Same with most of the women I know. Really nice guys, for the most part. Sure, some were occasionally whiny and needy, but so was I, so I call it even.
You may have had some bad experiences, but please -- don't extrapolate to the rest of us. Plenty of women are very happy to find nice guys, and even to breed with them, your armchair evolutionary psychologizing notwithstanding.
In response to the, "Well, if a woman said this, no one would complain!" complainers -- try substituting Black, Muslim, or disabled in your statements. "All disabled people are _____." "All Blacks do _____." "All Muslims are just naturally ______." No group is monolithic, and few groups have many universal characteristics. The moment you say "Women do _____," you are automatically wrong, because -- not all women do.

A Late Comment On The John Lennon Thing...
Lennon repeatedly beat both of his wives at various points in his life. I'm not really sure how he maintains any sort of credibility as the Boomer's saint in light of this fact.
And I'm a person who'd generally rather hear the Beatles than Tupac, but come on...the hazy utopia of Imagine (Which, honestly, if you detach the sentimentality is a fairly dull and monotonous song) is a far cry from the old SOB that Lennon actually was.
A musical genius, sure...but a world class dick.

You can read?
I read through some of your letters and you appear to have such anger toward women.
No, I just want women to stop being selfisah pigs and to begin acknowledging thsat they are at least half responsible for both the good and the bad things in America. If I seem angry, it is because women are such pigs in they continue to refuse to acknowledge this, which leads to frustration on my part. I am not the typical pushover boys you deal with, the ones who do as you say or else they won't get any from you, so get over it.
You have posted lots of accusations, anger, and generalizations about us.
and American women NEVER do this about men?
I hope you're just trolling because the energy put into hating ... it's not good for you and I mean that sincerely. I would say the same to a woman who posted venmous things about men too. You've only got so much time in life after all ...
And I have said I have given up on American women altogether, The gender politics is such that a man has to be an idiot to make ANY commitment to any woman since it comes back and bites him on the ass LEGALLY, the system is so stacked against men. Just say I wanted to do the one night stand thing instead, which I cannot comprehend and refuse to do, why would I want to be with a woman who has been with 200-500 other men? Also, most women seem to choose their men based on shallow considerations rather than on substantial character traits. I disrespect most women for this and refuse to allow myself to be used by women like this anymore, (you know the women guys, the ones who will incessantly complain about their douchebag bastard boyfriends to you while not leaving them for someone better-- like you for instance-- (as if I would want them anyway anymore)). Basically, I have chosen to be celibate since I am not super rich nor super hot looking and thus cannot snag decent TRUSTWORTHY women.
