The gay community needs to deal with its misogyny problem
UK Telegraph ^ | February 16, 2016 | Chas Newkey-Burden

Stephen Fry has been widely accused of misogyny after he described costume designer Jenny Beavan as dressing like a “bag lady” during Sunday night's Baftas award show.

It's the type of comment that Twitter equality crusaders love to jump on; Fry duly quit the social network (again) after receiving a barrage of abuse. But it's not the first time he has faced the accusation of misogyny. In 2010, the broadcaster said that women don’t enjoy sex and only agree to it because it “is the price they are willing to pay for a relationship with a man”. He later admitted that the comment was “offensive, ignorant [and] arrogant”.

That's the great thing about being a lib--you can have it both ways! That's why so many people get sucked into it. War on Women, once again liberals are the worst offenders.

This article is really spot-on. I had a former co-worker that is gay. People really didn't care. Most didn't approve but figured it's his thing, so what? Thing is, this guy had serious problems with every woman he ever dealt with in the workplace. I'm not exaggerating, EVERY ONE. He just treated them like total garbage until he was finally fired. There was a party the day he got canned.

Things are getting to a point where the gays are seriously threatening women’s position in society. The women are historically the downtrodden that have no power and used and abused for sex that’s why (in their view) they need 90% of the power in everything, they need to get all the promotions at work, they need to get recognized that they do all the work running the house and dad is basically one of the kids, and they should have their a** kissed everywhere in life. The gays are now getting too big of a piece of the action and need to be knocked down a few notches. So here’s where the big contest of “who’s the bigger victim?” starts to get ugly.

According to Cosmopolitan and YouTube, the big complaint among women is that sex with men doesn’t last long enough. That doesn’t sound like the complaint of somebody who doesn’t like it.

Some women, maybe, but could be they aren’t with the right man.
