Fair point (re: the media).

ad hominem, from the Latin, "to attack the man".

Again, Asperger's is not Autism. It is classified differently. I'm sorry that is the case for those afflicted with Asperger's, but the APA says it is a mental disorder.

And yet, the APA classifies it as a Mental Disorder. Developmental or not.

"horrifyingly large population of men out there who think this way"

I never made any excuse for his actions. I just said we are focusing on the wrong part of his problem.

"You're deeply ridiculous."

Autism is a development disorder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism

I NEVER said he was schizophrenic. I said there are schizos who can convince themselves of anything. It was a useful example, and I did not say it applied to him.

So the kid who shot up Sandy Hook was "immersed in a culture" of child-hating?

Again, I'm sorry, what?

I'm sorry, what?

I'm not diagnosing him. His parents and doctors did. They didn't fail to see he was ill, they failed to see HOW ill he was.

I do not dismiss all men on that site as sick. I am saying their shitty views don't matter. Being an asshole is an inalienable human right.

Actually, it is quite common for sociopaths to be "charming". To them, lying comes so easily, they can almost convince themselves. It is not that hard to convince a therapist you don't actually mean anyone any harm.

Rodgers WAS an anomaly.

I'm not sure that's accurate. It isn't that "he was sick, he didn't hate women." Those are two separate issues.

It's not that these people aren't real. It's that whatever media frenzy occurs around them, there are still 350+ MILLION people in the United States.

"Our media."

Schizophrenics who commit murder claim they hear voices that tell them to kill. They believe it wholeheartedly.
