The excerpt in the article sounds more like rape than a funny account, or exaggerated romantic notion. How many times did ask him to stop? Crying while he finishes off? That sounds like "I'm not OK with what you are doing to my body" which--and maybe I'm off here--sounds like rape to me.

I was wondering what happened to you. Was thinking that either you were in marital bliss or marital hell or some other personal crisis.

As much as I disagree with your more over-the-top posts, I did do a little web research on you months back and sorta understand a little better why you might think the way you do about certain things. Your political posts are always well thought out and you are definitely not in the same boat as MMM. That guy is just pure anger and likes to get it all out in one exploding volcano and then leave, you've got a little more going on than that.

I've always viewed you as more complex, as possibly being one who could come around if you just started hanging around with a different sort of woman. Its your posts on other topics that got me to see you as more than one-dimensional, as you do tend to come off as when posting on Broadsheet or CT.

So glad to see your return and am a bit concerned about the idea that people can gang up on a poster and have them expelled from Salon. I don't think your posts merited that, no matter how much I may have disagreed with your often very narrow views of women. If your posts were more like you see on other sites, just batshit crazy people spitting vile and hate with no redeeming value whatsoever, maybe I could understand Salon's point. But you always did seem open to dialog so here's hoping salon takes a harder look at these things in the future.

Welcome back!

That's one less flag I need to fly at half mast.

historically this is true but given current c-section rates not to mention labor(ha) saving biotechnology we may be able to dispense with BOTH it's entry and exit role, to the delight of many all along the social spectrum.

I'm surprised nobody's sharing their stories here.

In 2001, I actually thought that the "Antioch Sex Code," an early-1990s P.C. era proviso in which you're supposed to ask every step of the way, was the rule on campuses. I had no idea she would react like that. She's no good anyway, but that's not the point.

I've made a little progress since then.

You're often more intriguing than the other Angry Men here, and I noticed you occasionally also talked to others. I do disagree with many of your viewpoints, but I'm always happy to see someone who will try to discuss. MerelyMoralMale won't, Parson Jim tends to get too personally angry... If you're back, I'm hoping you'll want to talk and discuss some of your opinions. Maybe feminism and liberalism aren't as bad as you think... and there's some anti-feminist stuff metastesizing around too, that needs some criticism.

:D

You surprised me sometimes and I love surprises.

Resurrection?

I'm guessing I rubbed too many poor people the wrong way, so I got knocked off-- the 'messenger' offed for communicating a politically incorrect position. Really, more than anything, it was probably due to the concerted complaint-lodging efforts of a coterie of organized marxist Brightstar haters who despise people whose opinions differ from theirs can be allowed to speak their mind on Salon.

Never mind that fully 15-20% of the articles in Broadsheet are unfair ad hominem factfree putdowns of men, the burden remains on men to always be civil towards women anyway rather than being honest, truly introspective, or reciprocal.

I could have been back on the site immediately if I'd wanted to, but really, when I read the posts others continue to put up on Salon, I continue to notice that there is now a good heaping serving of skepticism and disdain, that I have certainly helped to sow over the past few years, towards the metastasizing multidimensional hypocrisies of feminism and liberalism in general. It is nice to see bullshit being called out for what it is, and by men too. Quiet, passive males are becoming a thing of the past. hurray.

I particularly enjoy reading the posts of Merely Mortal for his always astute, clearheaded observations and encyclopedic command of the subject, as well as Linney, Xrandadu, Rob Franklin, Parson, One Note Dworkin and even many of the writers whom I don't always agree with but who are interesting, like Kitchengirl, Serai, you Svutlana, Asehpe, Laurel, Juliebird, Deering, and even AKA, who I think finally sees the light about us men. There are others that slip my mind at the moment whose posts I also enjoy.

Keep on writing. Being an outlaw is kind of fun, and I had a nice summer vacation from Salon.

I can only promise to be a bit more civil and likely post less, since there is so much in life to do beside post to a web site, but really, some topics I cannot help but want to comment on occasionally.

And if I get thrown off again, it only continues to reinforce my ongoing contention that liberalism and feminism is fundamentally intolerant, corrupt, and hypocritical after all and that it has no business preaching openmindedness at others when their only accepted position is what they program others to ape back at them.

Have fun, y'all. Did any of you miss me?!? yes? yes?

"'Had more than five oral sex partners? Prepare to have throat cancer!' Is that also meant for guys?"

I will give you $20 if you submit that question to the Clare Booth Luce Foundation.

The fireworks from their exploding heads should be visible for miles.

That's high praise, considering the source: She Who Must Be Adored

Anony: Why do so many men seem so interested in accessing their female partner's but are so protective of their own?

I mean, when it comes to sex, we all have an asshole and if you aren't willing to take, should you really be demanding to give?

I totally agree. I'll just add it's not only guys; the girls are also monodirectional. Even those who are interested in giving usually don't seem so keen on taking. Only one girl I met did have both interests. Sigh!... Maybe a topic for sex ed at school?
