Mickeyd, did I name you or anyone here? Did I enumerate 'a lot'? 'A lot' could be 1% of US males, say.. that's still millions of men, some of whom wield their own "brushes" in a very public way.

The events and negative reactions I mentioned are recent and real. Thankfully, they are greatly reduced in number compared to the era that formed Steinem's politics; they are reduced, in fact, because of Steinem's politics. But different standards still exist, even if not through any personal fault of yours.

Anita Hill was "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty", right? Because guys NEVER put women under sexual pressure in the workplace, right? Only a slut would insinuate such a thing. It's common to hear 'news' people on an HRC "b*tch"/"rhymes with witch" riff.. would they dare call GWB or Rudy a pr*ck/d*ck/"rhymes with tick" on national TV? Ask yourself sincerely.
