41. What makes me sick is seeing a woman who is demanding respect from men turning

Sun Mar 24, 2013, 02:16 PM

right around and bashing men in the process.

I am not amused by the content of the OP and I shouldn't be broad-brushed into a group of men who may be amused by it.

And as for the pain of sexism, I get it. I'm new here, still. I don't know of the OP's alleged agenda. I'm also unaware of the sexist pain of the woman in this thread who bashes men in nearly every single post she posts.

I am extemely disappointed that you, Whisp, have taken this stance against me. I have been familiar with you since joining and have enjoyed seeing your commentary. I'm sorry I make you sick because I defend myself (and decent men) from a man-hating poster who seems to constantly get away with her sexism while man-bashing in the same breath.

Oh well. Be sick then.
