-
- What a wonderful example of the pot calling the kettle black. Vast
- numbers of heterosexual men are constantly making childish insults
- based on the notion that women are inferior. Also based on the notion
- that homosexuals are inferior. This is so obvious it is a stereotype.
-
- But Clayton, in his single minded campaign to prove that
- gay = scum, chooses to ignore this.

-
- This presumes women are inferior in order to conclude male homosexuals
- are inferior. One wonders if it works the opposite way for lesbians.
- One also wonders if Clayton is really serious in his concern with
- misogyny.

-
- Crap. Try reading rec.humor for a day. You'll likely see more in a
- day there, or a week on soc.men, than you will find in a year on
- soc.motss.
-
- And if you want to find a misogynist, look in a mirror.
