@35. jerryofva:

“I generally like your posts because you are a posterboy for what is wrong with Progressives. How simple would it be for you to just own up to the fact that the Playboy article was beyond the pale of civil discourse and never should have made it past the editors? I guarentee you that conservative men would have come to the defense of liberal women under this kind of attack.”

Thanks for the encouragement. I don’t think I’m in a position to tell the editors of Playboy what to publish in their magazine. Would I be offended if liberal women were the subject? Yes, and to exactly the same degree. As I stated above “Personally, I think the “hate-f*” list is tasteless and counterproductive”. I believe in free speech, even when that speech is potentially offensive. So sue me.

“Methinks you enjoyed the fantasy because you are the archetypical weak progressive male. Despite what you are going to tell me, I am sure women of either political stripe hold you in contempt.”

I enjoy commenting on the overblown outrage over the ‘fantasy’. Your inability to understand my motivation or character is not a surprise. Women who would hold me in contempt for defending free speech are welcome to their opinion – but you don’t speak for women, just for your small-minded self. What you think about me reveals much more about your own concept of what it means to be male than it does about me.

Peace.
