    "P.S. This is all tongue in cheek people, honestly, relax, take a deep breath."

    No it isn't. You wanna get a reaction from the guys who feel this way. In a sense, you want to hurt them. Probably because you were hurt. That's cool.

    At the end of the day though, it is the young men who are disenchanted with the status quo that have destroyed societies in the past. The proverbial "Young men leaning against the wall" with no attachment to the system. In a sense, we all live by the grace of young men's apathy. When the apathy stops, life as we know it disintergrates. As the financial crisis worsens, and the education gap between boys and girls grows, I wouldn't be too smug about one's position.
