"Men Are (Still) Pigs"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Oh, that’s right: Men are pigs.

Forgive a little bit of gender-based self-loathing. (And please, denizens of the Men’s Rights Twittersphere, please spare me your inevitable cries of “misandry!” Your whining undermines your claims to machismo.) But the news has been replete with examples lately of why feminism exists — and is needed — and why we men still need a few lessons in how to treat all people with a little more respect.
...
Where we’re in charge, we need to make a deliberate effort to bring deserving women into inner circles and cultivate an atmosphere that’s heavy on respect and light on dick jokes. Where we’re not in charge, we need to not (as so often happens) treat the female boss like a usurper who connived her way into the job. And in our relationships, men, we simply have to refrain from violence. Period. End of story.

It’s not 1960 anymore. We men have learned a lot about how to be less piggish than we were back in my grandfather’s heyday. As the events of the last week have shown, though, we still have a way to go.'

Speak for yourself, dude. Keep on projecting onto every other man.

As for not being violent in relationships, that's a two way street. Every psychological analysis of domestic violence finds gender parity. Unfortunately, gender ideologues remain as ignorant as ever of this fact, even when put right in front of their faces. And while were on the subject, you think men are supposed to never defend themselves against an attack, and should just take their beating like a good slave?

By the by, why is it no one ever writes an article stereotyping and belittling women and still enjoy having a job writing for a major publication (you know the same way they crap on men all the time)?

In closing, please stop slandering the entire male gender via your own egocentrism.
