No self-respecting woman would hang around a douche-bag that thinks this way. So, these douche-bags' most intimate relationships with women are with women who have no self-esteem and conform to that douche-bag's stereotype of what a woman is, thus further reinforcing his misogynistic view of women. I mean, think about it, why does Rush think all women are whores? What other type of woman has he had any experience with?

that "all women are the same".

I tell them to think of the range of personalities in guys with everything from Adolph Hitler to Pee Wee Herman and realize women have that range too, it's just different.

Oh well, I guess it's because most of my friends are women that I can't relate to whatever it is these guys think of women. It's just like the anti-Hispanic, anti-black or anti-gay thing since I've known so many.

So, unlike you, they never experienced the reality that you have. They will never personally know that women are people, like men, and that the difference between men and women is nothing compared to the difference between women.

It's sad, really. They must be pretty lonely if they've never had the support and companionship of a woman who is a true partner, as opposed to a cuff link or a doormat.

except the "refuses to be a victim" part, as if girls are only victims because they allow it. That is plain BS. I'm just not of that school. The rest, however, is great.

It is sad, that we must fight at all....but I know we all must fight, girls and boys, if ever we are to be free from fighting. How shamefully ironic huh.
