Call me a sexist, but most of this over-reaction in almost all places is caused by women. Although many exceptions exist, they are just too emotional and cannot separate emotions from what is important. It is not a coincidence that the last time a majority of white men voted for a Democrat for President was the landslide victory of LBJ in 1964.
I would agree with you, the only difference being that I think women are more into political-correctness than guys.
