Not sure if that is the incident I am remembering(this guy was only beaten and the year 2009 seems wrong), if you want quality journalism its not there as its all hidden identities and anonymous sources.

I want to live where Nava grew up because I want an icecream-shitting unicorn!  
I think Alley Dweller was spot on (whoa, was that a pun?) in the association of weakness=fag! such that it carried over (in general) to emasculation=fag! I’m not saying anything about “real men” and what they do or don’t do, but the concept is out there. If you’re a male who’s buying feminine hygiene products (with certain exceptions), you can expect somewhere close to a majority of other guys in the store are making that ~swwwichhhhKKKK~ whipping sound.

I know most of the [sensitive new age guys](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWuJi8gO-sc)here on the Dope would be honoured and proud to go shopping for their wives and girlfriends, but we Dopers are in the minority.
