I don't think that the feminists really advocate a non-sexist society--I think that they want a non-sexual society. Why do I think this? Could be testosterone poisoning. Could be I'm a macho asshole. Could be some feminists ask for reverse discrimination. Could be some feminists insist that there are no intrinsic differences between men and women. Could be some feminists insist that I am guilty for the sins of my forefathers. Could be I'm tired of being told that I am contemptible *just* because I am male. Fact is, women are doing to men what men have been doing to women for years. And we men don't like it one little bit. 'Course, in my view, that just brings the ladies down in the gutter where they say we men have been all this time. You know, Ross, this is fun!
