I don't want to seem like a misogynist. I love girls. They smell nice, and make me happy.
No, not taking it the wrong way at all.

A lot of what gets pushed by mainstream media as "feminist" or "written by/for women" isn't particularly feminist at all, because it exists primarily to sell copies and make a profit and therefore either goes overboard to one extreme or the other in order to create controversy, or else falls pretty much in line with the status quo which means it only serves to perpetuate the same old tired sex/gender stereotypes.

Then So, why waste your time, Frau Kapitan can perhaps learn a little anti-feminist talk to you ... and I'm sure she smells good,

I don't know if Vendor's been eating too many Wheaties lately or what, but he sure is mighty frisky these days.

More about eye catching headlines, and using division (nationalism, racism, sexism etc) to create opposing vicious dialogue, rather than saying it like it is.

If you look closely at some media outlets you will see they only serve to turn us against each other.

Example? Watch the response to this

Tea Party is born from the womb of Koch industries. Soros funded the OWS movement.

Hold on kids!

I am kinda with August here. Outside of Frank Rich, the times editorials are left leaning. Though sometimes they are true, they still have a bias.

The rest of the NY times is the best journalism you can find, just avoid the editorials!

Take it from someone who gets it delivered to his house.
man-hating != feminist != lesbian
I fear no woman with a strong opinion, but I can't stand prejudices on grounds of sex either, against both sexes.
You probably read more op-pieces by Down than me, but I couldn't find much from her that lets me fear for my balls.
And calling Al Gore "feminized and diversified and ecologically correct that he's practically lactating" doesn't sound too feminist/PC to me

The same goes the other way around, for example Ann Coulter follows the same path, just with opposite colors. Bimbo statements for provocation, profit and press.

No sir, just the mood she exudes from her pieces.

I do not want nor deserve that stigma.

Coulter has an adams apple larger than me, she can trash men all she wants, she is one.

Wow.

Sad because it is one of the few pics of her that she is good looking in. Maybe it is because she lacks an angry face in this particular pic.
