    @ Brightstar69

    As a boarderline masculinist myself, I understand where you are coming from. On the other hand, ranting your arguments against "you women" only allows your message, valid or not, to be disregarded as "backlash" or "angry male." It is easy to get angry about gender issues, especially advocates for women are much better organized and politically influencial than advocates for men. If I wore a bra, I'd burn it. But, don't let yourself be thrown into a rage. It is counter productive. There are better ways to win the fight.
