Tell ya something about men. They will form armies, attack and destroy things people and places, and have fun doing it. That's history. I guess, maybe, too many Moms went along with all that those boys have done?

FEH. Had I been on that jury for this OP, I would have hidden this thread just for being obnoxiously vague.

I hate that kind of shit. It's not clever, it's just annoying. Say what you mean, mean what you say. Don't pull that "attention-seeking" LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE bullshit and expect people to tease the meaning out of a word jumble.

Why do some people feel so hostile toward women? Dismissive, petulant, even resentful? Makes no sense.
