- I suppose I could ramble on about this just like the article rambles on,
- but instead I'll just comment on the final paragraph.

- like the aforementioned groups of men
- in cars, and men's sports!
-
- Now, don't tell me I'm taking this out of context. I am not.
- How can anyone read this and not be disgusted? It's saying that
- 'men in men's sports FREQUENTLY AND OPENLY DISPLAY SEXIST ATTITUDES
- and REWARD ONE ANOTHER FOR SEXIST ACTIONS'??? How can ANYONE,
- read that and say it isn't sexist itself? Is EVERYONE so blind
- to sexism and hatred when it's directed toward men? What happens
- when people start believing this crap? STOP THE HATRED, and maybe
- we'll get somewhere.
-
- Someone once asked me for an example of an article in my campus
- newspaper that would upset me. This article was a good example.
- I'm sure if my newspaper saw it they would republish it.
