I am deleting my comments here because a few women did not like what I shared and jumped on me, telling me to “shut my ugly pie hold” and using terms such as “Cliff you stupid fucking twat” and other aspersions, even though my responses were all well meaning and intended to be supportive. In fact, their comments sounded just like the worst of the worst that women often encounter in online forums — the very thing that they complain about.

It is a shame that there are misandrists who use women’s issues as their tool for bashing men, at the expense of the legitimate and serious issues that women face. These misandrists prevent honest and well meaning dialog between men and women in a forum such as this.
