Gnu;

I am not a politically-correct, Pollyannaish femi-Nazi. If it helps you to think so, do feel free. I have been around the block a few times. I don't tell people what to say or do, but when someone is clearly trying to insult others or makes bigoted comments, yes, I do stand up and say something about it. Gosh, that must make me a judgmental bitch.

And I have a wonderful sense of humor, as all my friends will attest to. You obviously know nothing about me.

If I referred to you as being "pussy-whipped" by your latest lady friend (not that I am am aware of whether that is your sexual preference) I don't think you'd appreciate it, as it reflects negatively on both you and your lady friend.

Maybe you and your circle of friends see this as a friendly bit of ribbing and not an offensive insult. But for the world at large it is a pejorative term and surely you know and can understand that? For you to be so disrespectful of women who are not "part of your circle" means, sorry, that you are disrespectful of women in general.

Think about it for a moment or two.
