I am so tired of special snowflake right-wing men who rail against political correctness and who are abusive to others (Trump is the poster boy) whine like little babies when any criticism or ridicule is being thrown their way.

What is even sadder is that none of them can even man up and admit it when it so clear for the rest of us to see. Or better yet, just grow up, stop treating other people like dirt and don't take everything so personally. As the author said, when someone called him an "amoeba", he felt no need to respond to that insult because it wasn't really a big deal, he's not pathetically insecure and he knows he is not an amoeba so he saw no need to give the comment any of his time or energy.

Looking at some of the comments after the article are also telling. A lot of these men just refuse to listen or understand. They are so wrapped up in their own victimhood they are incapable of seeing how they are their own worst enemies or understanding the feelings of others.
