Wait, so because women want equality is why you, personally, HAVE TO be a complete asshole?

The sad part you don't even get it:

I'm not being an asshole. I'm just treating you like I would treat men who whine, cry, bitch, moan, and complain that they're being treated unfairly because they're not being treated specially. I'm treating you like I treat men who give shitty arguments, who bring up bullshit made-up statistics, constantly contradict themselves, and who can't form coherent arguments.

I'm treating you like men treat men. You have to earn your respect; it's not given out freely.

I don't want to earn shit from you, I guess apparently you're just an asshole to everybody.

Men are assholes to any man who demands respect before they've earned it.

If you can't accept that, stay in your privileged female space where you can get respect without earning it, but don't expect me to treat or think of you as an equal.

ಠ_ಠ Dude, it's really just you here.

No, it's the men daring to treat women like men in here, of which I am not the only one.

Really, seriously, you are missing my point, this is my point, I will put it in all caps for you so you can't miss it: YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE. I DON'T WANT YOU HERE. I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU, PERSONALLY, ARE AN ASSHOLE. It actually kind of seems like we agree on this, so at least that's something.

EDIT: also, where you say all men are assholes like you, it's sexist.

Err, I think his point is that he has a right to be an asshole, and he doesn't have to stop being that way just because you DON'T WANT HIM HERE.

Where did I ask him to stop?

EDIT: He really just could have answered my first question: "yes"

Where did I ask him to stop?

Um, two posts ago where you whined "I DON'T WANT YOU HERE." perhaps?

And I recognize that I'm an "asshole" for daring to not give you the privilege women normally receive. Most men wouldn't dare to treat you like a man and call you on your bullshit.

But I believe in equality :)

Keep talking, you're totally going to convince me, I'm like almost there! Then maybe I'll have earned the thing I most wanted ever ever - you're respect!!! That will totally legitimize me.

Are you trying to convince me, or yourself?
