ROFL. I completely know what you mean! I had a poster dodge out by essentially saying "Quit being such a girl."

OK...but I win. LOL.

I am not a feminist, and I am not particuarly insecure about being female. You will find I am the first to admit that sometimes I perpetuate negative female stereotypes on occasion. Why, because I'm a girl and it comes naturally. But sometimes the condescension does get a bit irritating.

There is also a general feeling in some corners that it is ok to drool over Coulter or Malkin, but somehow demeaning to comment on the appeal o male politicians, pundits or celebrities.

I remember one guy getting all upset about a President Bush photo that was particularly good and had garnered by some positive reactions. He said something along the lines of "You girls are so embarrassing, drooling all over a politician. How demeaning. You are lowering the entire intelligence of FR." And then promptly left to make comments on a Coulter thread and demanding pictures. ROFL. Very funny.

When was the last time you heard the phrase "Coulterbot?"

I'm glad you said it...the Brotherhood of the Popsicle Worship and don't forget the Malkinites.

The hypocrisy is sometimes enough to make you dizzy.

The truth of the matter is that the wisest, most educated, and thoughtful members of this forum are both male and female.

The same is true for those who lose emotional control, and feel a lot more than they think. LOTS of macho guys lose their cool all the time around here. Got to get those hormones under control, ya know?? ;)

(To all my numerous male friends reading this, I am KIDDING! :)

I still have a thing for Margaret Thatcher.

He who calls himself a man and yet cannot respect, admire and appreciate women, just as they are, is in fact, still a boy.
