    Shoe on other foot,

    meet ass.

    In other words, a group of which I'm a part can be utterly vilified and that's okay. But let me go verbally aggressive, and that's condescending.

    In short, women can be trashed, but the Kzin had better be polite.

    Right. For DECADES women could criticize relentlessly the men around them without anyone being able to stop the women, but God Forbid a man ever said anything less than flattering, he would be labeled woman hating.

    Maybe it is the comeuppance we men finally need, a full 180 degree turnaround, where women cannot criticize men, but men can criticize women.

    I cannot take anyone seriously that would call me or anyone a "troll" merely because I state my honest opinion. That is just tired chicanery on women's parts to try to rip into men who freely speak their minds. It makes you women DINOSAURS.
