Misandrist of the Century
I've met my share of misandrists, but this one's the tops. Two samples:
1. A man is a rape supporter if ...
2. Die Men!
Highly intelligent. And all that cognition in the service of highly reasoned, absolute nonsense. Chesterton warned against this, in sexist language, of course:
"[I]f the great reasoners are often maniacal, it is equally true that maniacs are commonly great reasoners….Every one who has had the misfortune to talk with people in the heart or on the edge of mental disorder, knows that their most sinister quality is a horrible clarity of detail; a connecting of one thing with another in a map more elaborate than a maze. If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it; for in many ways his mind moves all the quicker for not being delayed by the things that go with good judgment.
"He is not hampered by a sense of humor or by charity, or by the dumb certainties of experience. He is the more logical for losing certain sane affections. Indeed, the common phrase for insanity in this respect is a misleading one. The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason."
As far as her opinion of the penis-packing portion of the human race, John Calvin couldn't have said it better. Why do even our feminists have to be Calvinists in this country?
