He’s a cuck; you’re a sexist. So?
I said that about WWI, but I wouldn't say that about WWII. But then again, had the Germans won WWI there would have been no Hitler. And also, I stated that Britain should have stayed out of WWI and tended to their Empire, instead of worrying about the European continent.
Sexist. Such a leftist term.
