Engaging in disparaging remarks and personal attacks generally indicate
insecurity with your own arguments. Are you really so sure that your arguments
are so full of holes that you have to rely upon personal attacks to make your
case?
It appears that you often automatically assume that the men you meet are
insensitive, sexist, and exploit the women in their lives. Your lack of trust
in the general humanity makes me feel sorry for you.
So that was that,
B, crackpot and defender of the status quo
