That was a rather long winded way of saying not much at all. I take it you're new here, and haven't read much of Lindy's work, then. Most of these were written by her. She's... bigoted, to put it bluntly.

Mmm hmm. You just happened to find a handful of guys that conform to your rather caveman esque view of men. I'm pretty sure I could find a handful of misandrist women to support my agenda as well.
Lindy, I think you just need to agree not to write about men anymore. Jezebel as a whole should too, but you in specific really, REALLY need to stop. You simply aren't in tune with what men think or feel, and you seem to have this ideological bent about how you think they really are. You're not doing yourself or…
Uh, really? Competent is what you think when you see the average white male character on TV?
Uh, did you even read the whole thing? Even besides that, he says as much in the comments as well. Its been screencapped, and you can even check his recent twitter where people have been grilling him about it.
So sports, such as in this case, would be something that we value the feminine over the masculine in?
All jokes aside, because I've really been enjoying these replies (I am reminded of Kung Pow: Enter the fist for some reason) and because I fucking hate spamming things so I know I deserve it anyway, but seriously...
Kinda flies in the face of the theory that we value the masculine over the feminine, and that using male descriptions as insults to women isn't as bad.
It's generally for the same reasons women rape. You might notice that a pretty large chunk of both female and male rapists would be considered attractive in some way, such as many of the recent high profile cases of female teachers fucking their students.
I forgot you could do that. Seeing as you are so petty as to make such a... well, petty comment, I just had to go back and do it myself. I dedicate this star to you :P
Some of you were pissed. Some of you agreed. Some of you had no clue at all what the problem was.
I am in no way trying to downplay what happened to this poor woman. But this is exactly the time to bring up what I did if the nature of these conversations are ever going to change.
Actually, I'm musing on something I've noticed for a long time. People are outraged over this as well they should be. Its a shocking story.
But no, seriously, I'm interested in finding the root cause of what makes male victims not even register is the minds of some. I see it all the time, like in your post. So I'll just ask point blank, what gives?
