Done! You don’t bring anything worthwhile to any thread you’ve posted in anyways, and it’s really a pain in the ass to slog through your bullshit.

I thought it was [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=679710) that got people mad at him (he comes more towards the [later part](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=15972958#post15972958) of the thread).

Well, that’s the thread where _you_ pissed _me_ off. So there’s that…

Really? Maybe one of my posts about gender studies courses did come off as ignorant when I commented on the feminism of gender studies courses, and that set you off. In fact, you went to point out me commenting on feminism in an earlier thread.

You know, not everyone believes in feminism, and one of those people is me. To me, it seems like a man-hate movement. I think men and women should definitely have equal rights; anyone who says otherwise is an asshole. But in my opinion, the feminist movement is going too far.

And to be fair, I’ll admit that I did a little bit of junior moderating there, but I pretty much stopped after receiving a [moderator note](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15976711&postcount=509) from **Idle Thoughts**.

This from the man with no qualms about proclaiming women “sluts”. You might want to get a few more hairs on your chest before you concern yourself with the sexuality of others, and keep the slurs to a minimum.  
Got to hand it to you for setting records for attention whoring though. You manage to turn every thread you intrude upon about you. Let me guess: only child of older parents?

That was a [_joke_, which wasn’t even by posted by me](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15978739&postcount=521)! Nor did I concern myself with the sexuality of others. What’s with the assumptions here?

And “intrude”? “Attention whore”? “Every thread”?

First of all, there’s no such thing as “intruding” a thread.

Secondly, I don’t do that in every thread. Maybe there are some threads where I may have done that, but that’s usually when I’m the OP myself.

:rolleyes:

Well technically yes. But I do have a sibling which is my sister. So only son? Yes. Only child? No.

Let’s narrow it down a little further. High esteem placed on sons/men in your culture or subculture?

Say this for **lance strongarm** : he went away and then picked up exactly where he left off, and is now annoying people the exact same way he did six months ago.

Eh. Don’t believe you. You’re far too convinced of the importance of your contribution in discussions you have zero familiarity or experience with. You’ve a captive audience at home.

That would be because you’re a fuckin idiot. Evidence for which: you’ve clearly not read any feminist texts before making this judgment.

If you want to be confirmed in your idiotic opinion, by all means go find some Dworkin to plow through. If, however, you don’t, find some bell hooks or Gloria Steinem or Naomi Wolf or any of the the other excellent feminist authors who don’t hate men, but rather work avidly against a system that promotes the interests of men so lopsidedly.

After you’ve read some decent feminist authors, then you might still be opposed to feminism; at least then you’ll be an educated fuckin idiot instead of an ignorant one.

Speaking on behalf of raging egotists everywhere, let me assure you that we do not actually need any support for our grotesquely inflated sense of self-worth.

To be fair, it is pretty hard to judge this kind of thing about the culture you were raised in.

Ah. That. explains why absolutely everything AU says is completely fascinating, engaging, novel, and unique. I know I’ve been hanging on every word, especially when he expounds upon topics with which he has no familiarity or experience. My only regret is that I can’t hear the melodious sound of his voice as he yammers on.
