more blind androphobic tripe. Reminds me of the androphobe (can’r recall who) who claimed that the words penis and vagina are themselves expressions of patriarchal oppression. Ya see, the accent in penis is on the first syllable, and the accent in vagina is on the second syllable. Therefor penises are valued more highly than vaginas. QED, right? If women don’t recognize this and hate men for it, or men don’t acknowledge it and admit their privelidge and guilt, well, of course, that’s just internalized mysogyny.

I expect there to be a time soon where the table will flip and men will claim that the exclamation point is masculine and should be left for men to use.
And the letter O is feminine, right?
