...some big long article...
It's always amusing to me that on many occasions when feminists get too worked up over something, they either degenerate into bawling, quivery nervous wrecks or transmogrify into shrieking harpies - which just happen to be the stereotypes they are so adamant about eradicating. 
How sad that you would believe that any woman who found the article pathetic must fall into one of your stereotypes of either a "bawling, quivery nervous wreck" or a "shrieking harpy".
Shhhh! Shhhh!!! Read carefully sweetness. I did not use the words "any woman". I was not making a universal accusation. I didn't even drop any names. Go through and read some of the articles written in reaction to this. Those are what I'm talking about. I have no problem with women - trust me, the aspect of my life that gets me into the most trouble is that I like women as much as I do. I'm just bemused by the level of outrage that can be stirred up by one guy's article. It's the same sort of amused, semi-affectionate disdain I reserve for Mac users and 'activist' vegans. I don't at all dislike these people, I just don't agree with them - though I get a kick out of the attitudes of some of them.

The ensuing bitchfest (npi) all over the Web was even more entertaining than the original article, and the various responses I've read outside of these boards have - besides being supremely entertaining - spoken volumes about people on all sides of "women's issues" today.
Clearly.
It's amazing how easily everyone picks a "side" on stuff. That's all I'm trying to say.
I still love you...
