Oh, go and lay an egg.
I saw right through your feminist BS in a microsecond.
"I'm a model, you know what I mean...."
Ha Ha Ha!!!
There is a limit to the amount of pretention I can take.
Your PATRON(h)ising attitude does not further the cause of extropy.
The feminist movement was justified and correct, but IMO it has gone far
enough. There is a prevailing attitude today that straight white men are
GUILTY of something. Well, listen up, baby, we are NO MORE GUILTY OF
ANYTHING THAN YOU ARE. Shall we blame all the Germans alive today for WW2?
