No, but I'm betting you haven't read a word of the material I criticized, which would put you about on the plane you're trying to put me.
As I pointed out, there could well be a million words of diatribe at that site on the state of male/female relationships. It's written in a stilted pedantic tone, and rife with the repeated use of "I think this..." and "In my opinion that..." And nowhere, I mean nowhere, is the a footnot or citation to validate or substantiate a single claim. Then, to top it all off, it all resides under the main website of one J. Orlin Grabbe, notorious internet pseudo-intellectual, snake oil salesman, and conspiracy theorist.
How's that for snappy comeback and repartee?
My maturity or lack thereof is a whole other issue. But note that I criticize your written word, while you attack me personally. Pot, kettle, black.
This is not correct. The sperm count has nothing to do with masculine attitudes and behaviours.
I think you are thinking about testoterone. Or if you want the opposite hormone, from women, estrogen.
I agree with you. But one thing that nags at me is the story of the woman pilot in the Gulf War who was taken prisoner. The rumor was that she was repeatedly raped and tortured. I don't believe that we've heard the real story on this. It seems like the lefties have dropped the ball on this or maybe it never happened. I'm puzzled.
You have an interesting take on this. I'm going to have to ask my wife what she thinks before I can respond.
It's essentially a college and post-graduate course in politics, psychology, and sociology all rolled into one, with a lot of history thrown in for good measure. It presumes that the reader can abstract from facts and connect the abstractions to form new concepts. It presumes a level of education or insight capable of recognizing historically observable and theoretically demonstrable phenomena, and the ability to extrapolate probable outcomes.
As for your snappy comeback, all I can say is that you write like a precocious thirteen year old with a new thesaurus. Being thrilled by a Vonnegut story and letting everyone know that you are an enthusiastic Vonnegut fan is not the same as being able to write with Vonnegut's vivid economy.
Seems like it does't it? But it's not true. The percentage of gays in the general population remains relatively constant.
LET THE BEATINGS BEGIN! BURQUAS FOR ALL OF YOU!
There. Satisfied?
You must be tired of hearing the word immature. Grow up and you'll hear it a lot less.
No, it's not. It's a vanity series published on the internet. No references, no qualitative data, no citations, not one single footnote or credit to an outside source. Just one man's rambling opinions written in a million words or more. And by bringing it here in bits and pieces with quaint theories like the scourge of the "Playboy Philosophy" made it fair game for criticism.

One of many in the series. Many are included in the text in conversational style, but can be traced to the sources.
Basically, you have a problem. You are a gamma level, or at best beta minus mind trying to present yourself as an alpha through pretentious vocabulary and trivial criticism of form.
Secondly, you're a God damned liar.
About ten people on this thread have told you that in one way or another. Maybe you should listen for the first time in your life.
You are caught and revealed for what you are, and are vainly attempting to argue your way out of it. You aren't going to make it in this life among people of stature or substance, sonny boy. As one of the other posters here said, if you are tired of hearing it, gtow up. In your case, however, the the advice is somewhat useless because you have an intrinsic mental limitation that is incurable. I suspect it is useless to suggest you stop inflicting that limitation on other people.
Have a nice day.
Who are you, again, blowhard yokel? I don't believe I caught your name or background.
The referenced work on man/woman relationships comes off not simply as if the writer has never been married, but as if he never even had a date. What tripe.
-----------------
Before, you told me there were no references.
Typical gamma minus mentality and emotionality.
