Her email is Robin@robinbakay.com. This article, if genders reversed would be shot down. It made a feature in our newspaper. I also wrote espn and told them how they could support such gender bias. If it were a man writing about women he would of been fired. In the article she mentions about not running men over in your car, does she know a man was brutally murdered like this recently?

Like most female chauvinist sows, yes she DOES know a man was murdered like this (run over by a car) she just doesn't care.
  In fact she probably thought it was HILARIOUS.
You know, in the same way a member of the K.K.K. thinks a Black man dangeling from a rope is funny.
I see NO difference!

  Thundercloud.

This was my reply:

The level of misandry you display is disgusting. If
your ad hock piece
(http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20040801/102 1572.asp)
qualifies as 'journalism' hopefully they'll publish my
'article' saying you and your feminazi filth should be
thrown out with the rest of the trash you produce.

Fare poorly,

If you are referring to the Clara Harris criminal, she was sentenced to 20 years and $10,000 fine back in 2003. Which means she will be out in no more than 10 years and she can pled impoverishment to beat the fine. Evidently, the jury and judge did not think that running over her husband with a car and killing him was such a big deal either. They probably in secret giggled about it. Thought it was "cute" and or "he deserved it" like most pg society thinks of female on male violence.

She should have gotten the death penalty.

However, that is what separates the men from the boys. We can take it, we know who can't.

Other then some off handed remarks at the top the rest of the article is pretty boring. On top of that I suspect it was written by a male due to some "isms" that just seemed to jump out that led me to believe that this article wasn't written wholey by a female. I could be wrong, but I stand by my suspicions.

I have to agree... she's an opinionated woman but there's nothing wrong with that. She appears to poke fun at both men and women, that's ok by me. It's from womans perspective but it appears obvious that she really likes men and while she's no closer to understanding us than any other woman, at least she's trying. It was such a long article I think there's probably lots of things you could get upset about if you want to, but taken as a whole I don't think it's too horrible... there's some stuff that radfems would get upset about too.

I labored through her whole article, and found it to be pretty balanced.

And given her admitted sexual history as a promiscuous AmeriSkank, I believe she has some kind of special, if perverse, expertise.

I guess she's now divorced (again), and currently spreading her research talents far and wide.

I liked the bit where she said:

if me referring to Nick as my man didn't make you flinch, don't go jumping salty on me for implying that men see their women as being theirs

I'll forgive a lot for that one.

This whole paragraph just rubs me all the wrong way. "Like TiVo, men can substantially enhance one's quality of life, but it would take forever to figure out how to turn the damn things on or off without a user's guide. "Enduring Men" should have been a requisite course of study in high school. How many of you use algebra? Show of hands? I thought so. But a day rarely goes by without a male encounter of some sort - brothers, lovers, friends, husbands, hair colorists, etc. You can't escape them, especially in West Hollywood - mecca for men and the women who look like them. The fact is, men have been around for thousands of years. Isn't it about time we learned how to make the most of them? " This implies we are here but if you use us correctly we can add value to your life. Since when, I would like to know, are we here to enhance their lives? Kind of like a novelty, we have been on earth for as long as them, so she writes it like we are, not doing much, so make the most of us. Needless to say men suffer 80%? 90%? of work place fatalities, are we not the brain and braun of society, I think so. The Engineers and Ditch diggers of Society. This I can not forgive.

It is women like her who come across with a self appointed arrogance, what does she know how it is to be a man. Because she is a sportscaster? If I were a hairdresser, would I be qualified to say "I KNOW WOMEN" I think not.

Well what do expect from a woman who gets her jollies in men's locker rooms?
