Am I the only one who notices the "complete, knee-jerk dismissal" of
feminism and especially feminist *men* in Jurriaan's posts? Whatever
problems you might have with Louis's criticisms of LM, what he has written
while arguing with James and the positions taken by LM, in my opinion, has
been far more measured and fact-based than some Thaxis posters' comments
about feminism.

If it is the "complete, knee-jerk dismissal" that moves you to object to a
writer, I submit that there are better candidates here to whom you may
direct your ire.
