The moment they interact with women who can stand up to their rubbish, they start crying that women are using "their beauty and flirting behaviour". (On a mailing list, at that.) Is this some sort of inferiority complex? Perhaps they simply can't stand principled revolutionary women who won't buy their stupidity and condescending priestly attitudes. Have you been raised by Mormons, Sid?
