	mens_issues writes "Several months ago, the NEUROTICA cartoon strip (by Big Al, the Gal) showed the "protagonist," Petunia, punching her grandfather "Gramps" in the face. Once again she has assaulted him in this manner. As if punching a 100-year-old man in the face is "funny." The strip was actually printed on October 10, but I just came across it now. The email address of the cartoonist is: bigal-at-bigalcartoons.com Steve"

This includes elder men, of course. Any time elder men can be made to look foolish, or can be abused with impunity, the respect for elders is diminished a bit, but the respect for elder MEN is diminished quite a lot. If elder men can be easily abused/mocked/ disrespected, it becomes easier still to abuse/mock/disrespect all men and boys. Net gain for gender feminists. Not that gender feminists generally reason things out in this fashion - I am not suggesting a conspiracy of any sort. Men of all ages are targets, and older men are easy targets - why not go after them? No conspiracy needed, just the reflexive desire of gender feminists to put down males of all ages and descriptions.

My impression of the cartoon is that it is mocking "angry modern women" who lash out at innocent men for no good reason. Dittohd All anonymous postings on my screen are filtered.

I especially like to kiss up to them and call them mommy while they spank me. I also like to smack my wife with a rolled up newspaper, and wait for weeks to find out how she will get me back. I also love to leave her a perfect tool to do so-leaving my computer on and myself logged in. hee hee hee hee Dave K - A Radical Moderate
