In fact, I find it highly entertaining.

What bothers me is that you appear less interested in the subject matter than taking shots at people not in this thread. What does HOF have to do with your OP? You need to get over your grudge. As for denigrating one's ex, evidence of your doing so is right in this thread. Your allegations that HOF members sit around doing that would seem to be unfounded, since you have provided no evidence of it.

Sexism against men is every bit as prevalent as racism against whites. That means it isn't, unless people believe what they see on FOX and read on White Supremacist and MRA websites. Sexism is reinforced by a structure of power. It has nothing to do with a feminist disagreeing with you online or some ex-girlfriend of yours. It's the fact than 1/3 women are raped or beaten by a partner or family member. It's that prosecutors around this nation sweep rape charges under the rug rather than prosecuting, even when told by DOJ that they are in violation of ethical standards, as in a recent report on the Missoula prosecutor's office. It's that only 3 percent of rapes result in jail time, and some of those sentences are as low as thirty days. It's that 40% of female homicide victims are killed by intimate partners. It's unequal pay for equal work. It's that power in govt and the private sector continues to be wielded disproportionately by men. It has absolutely nothing to do with your being pissed off that you are exposed to feminist views on a message board.

Nope. You can't even know what the bet was, because I told no one. It was a mental bet. RC Jan 2014 #17
