- What's full of holes, Brent, is that sort of "logic." I
- think it's pretty arrogant of you to equate your complaints
- to those of women. You are a man. You are not
- systematically and ubiquitously discounted and degraded --
- in any and all regards -- by this society. You have
- *enormous* power and privilege, not because you deserve it,
- but merely because you are male. Even if you tied your
- level best, you would never be in the comparable situation
- where women are; for you to claim that ground as your own is
- not appropriate; whatever else one might say about it, your
- dick spares you from any threat of being treated as
- disgustingly as women are treated in this life.
-
- I would hope you will be as educated by this as you suggest
- others have been by your remarks.
