The "cunts" at the end ruins it in the US where it is among the harshest and most sexist terms.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

About me: When ever I behave as a man I am called sexist, It seems being a male is now illegal and nobody sent me the memo. Good job as I would have told them to fuck off.

The rest of the world has to conform to your infantile stupidity?

Most of FTB and Skepchick people are, AFAIK, in the US. Using a word that labels the user as sexist to criticize a group of feminists is kinda counterproductive don't you think?

Don't mind me though, I've worked decades to achieve this level of stupidity.
