Why aren't more people, men especially, shocked and outraged

66. That is one hell of an excellent reply!

In fact, looking back on it, I think I made a serious mistake phrasing this as I did. It would have made much more sense had I started with something along the lines of: "Why is it that a nutty woman gets more negative attention than an idiotic male newscaster around here?" That indeed was the point I was groping for, but couldn't quite articulate. That's a pretty neat skill you have. A cleaver right through the BS. Nice.

And your answers seem to fit the bill. I would guess it's probably some mix of all of them, depending on the individual poster. I would hope it's more to do with the general boredom with serious topics than "sexist underground"--but it's of course difficult to know. Then too, it occurs to me now that any OP that is explicitly about sex (and one's desire or lack of desire for same) will generate more interest than pretty much any other topic. So there's that to consider.

Now that you've articulated it so well, I guess a further question of mine would be why didn't this stir more of a response within the Men's Group? I mean, shouldn't such an obvious instance of smearing all men be of concern? It sure as hell concerned me. Or was there a response, and I missed it?

Anyway, what do you think, TB? Should I take this whole thread down, especially now that I have a (somewhat) clearer sense of what's happening here? Or is it worth keeping up for whatever discussion it generates?

Either way, best wishes.
