> [@Smeghead](#): > > And this is literally probably the most sexist thing I’ve ever seen posted on the boards. Don’t you see, though? It’s OK for **Le Jac** to be a sexist asshole, because Maureen Dodd wrote a book questioning the necessity of men. That’s the whole point. Until women as a group control publishing and prevent anything like that from ever being published again, **Le Jac** will have no choice but to constantly deride and degrade them in the name of equality. Equality! ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > One might point out that it could be more accurate to say that “people disparage people.” Look, humans are assholes to each other all the time - sometimes, gender has absolutely nothing to do with it. Sometimes, people have to put up with bullshit (wander over to the workplace griping thread if you need details!) and sometimes, people stand up and call each other on their bullshit. Sometimes, gender has absolutely nothing to do with that, either. But women have a right to complain about the bullshit they put up with. No one gives them hell, either, at least not here in the West. Men who complain get harpies like DianaG making up lies about them to intimidate them into shutting up. > [@](#): > > So men can’t ever talk misogynistic bullshit, and women can’t hunt for brownie points? Never ever? Way to pigeonhole everyone into rigid gender roles. Which is not sexist. At ALL. :rolleyes: Sure they can talk misogynist bullshit. They just get called out on it. Women who bash men don’t get called on it. And what woman needs sexual brownie points? That’s like a dolphin asking for a drink of water while swimming in the Pacific. ---

Since we should all by now have put Le Jacq on our ignore lists, we need a better topic for this thread. I suggest adorable kittens and the adorable children who love them. ---

You know, instead of whining that no one cares about your whining as much as they should, maybe you could try not being such a sexist prick? You’d do a lot better with the ladies if you didn’t obviously hate women so much. And yes, I know – women get to hate men and everyone buys them chocolates, but you don’t get to hate women without everyone calling you a prick. Life is super unfair. ---

Anyone who knows anything about BASIC reproductive biology knows women can’t even breed without men. You were trolling, or you were outright stupid. You seem fairly ignorant of biology. Sperm cells (indeed, entire embryos) can be easily replicated in a laboratory setting. However, at our current level of technology, there is no substitute for the human womb. I am not the one who is stupid here. ---
