1. I really hate to be a dick.

But do other men actually give a shit about any of this? It sounds like a bunch of whiny, new age bullshit to me. I don't give fuck one about misogyny or misandry or feminism or masculinism (is that a word?), I treat everyone with respect until they no longer deserve it. But I also listen to "sexist" music and enjoy racial humor and a bunch of non-PC activities. Being "offensive" in this day and age is kind of fun.

I think people take themselves way too seriously. Obviously, the act of rape isn't funny but jokes about it are fine with me. Jokes about anything are fine with me. That doesn't make me a rapist or one that encourages it. I don't watch a TV show that features the henpecked husband playing the fool and think I'm being oppressed as a man. And so on and so forth.

I respect your opinion on several matters but it seems like you have a personal battle going on with the she-woman man haters club and I just wonder why you care about any of it. It seems so nonproductive and not fun. I mean, who gives a fuck if some radical thinks it's degrading to call your daughter "baby"?

I don't know. Maybe I'm fucked up.
