What does that have to do with the subject at hand? 😕 Wanting to know how long it’s been since you’ve had sex (if you’ve ever had it at all) is pertinent to understanding the mentality behind someone who might make an OP such as yours. ---

Look man, I asked you how long it’s been since you’ve had sex because it’s not exactly unheard of for MRAs and the sort (of which this OP is included) to use the “movements” simply as a vehicle for their sexual frustrations and resentments towards the women that they perceive to have rejected them or treated them as invisible beings. ---

No, I think the OP took this thread off the rails with his paranoid distortions of what feminists stand for. Now it’s just kind of boring and redundant.
