    Intellectual discourse just gets crazier and crazier. I thought the Left was all about love and tolerance. I would not be surprised if a major publisher picks this up :

    Tolerating something doesn't require liking it

    2,500 copies of an e-book can happen in a single day. This is small potatoes. A fanzine.

    What's the fuss? Not everyone loves everyone else, I despise certain people too, mysogynists, homophobes, racists, bigots - that's just part of the list. Good for her if she can get a real publishing deal. That's the American way, right? Make it big.

    I agree with the sentiment and deplore her topic, which she is entirely free to profit from in her limited-edition screed against the obvious. That said, look up how Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was marketed. I'm not totally ruling her out. It just depends on her creativity in bitching about us guys.

    The point is more the hypocrisy, considering that the same feminists are willing to criminalize any misogynistic speech, when with support of many authorities, they have misandric speech, and furthermore want to have the priviledge of having misandric speech while forbidden misogynistic speech.

    In the end, I think it's good news, feminists start more and more to be open about what they are.

    Gender chauvinism is so old its origins are only guessed at, but one thing's clear. That argument will never be settled. Try as they might to "skivilize" us, boys just gotta be boys.

    No surprise coming from the French. They think sexualizing little girls is OK as well. This is what female empowerment looks like.....

    Let's try a different title: We should have the right to not like Black people.

    How does that sound?

    Pointing out the left's brazen hypocrisy is always fun but if I do not like anything then I do not like it. No one is forcing this chick to like men.

    Don't mistake some degenerates leftist Parisian with us. Yes, we had always some weird wackos such Sade or the newspaper "Liberation", but if you come to France and think that sexualizing of little girls is OK, you might have problem, furthermore, we were much much more allergic to all the "mini miss" thing.

    Paris, like Versaille was, tend to be a heaven to anyone who think they can free themselves from morality, like Versailles, they will know that in the end, they can't.

    Reddit that is managed by a far leftist have found the "solution", they define white (men) as "dominant" group and affirm that it's ok to hate dominant group. In the end, the best is to ignore them as much as possible, I'm confident they would end to face the consequences of their acts.

    Freedom requires that anyone be allowed to dislike anyone else. As VoltreAltesse stated above, the problem arises when the government mandates that certain groups disliking other certain groups is illegal, but other groups disliking certain groups is just fine, and even to be applauded and rewarded economically with taxpayer funds.

    This is classic mommy says so. It really is as simple as that. And if you ever confront women who take these positions, their only response, ever is, because I said so, and you're just supposed to buy that intellectually flaccid response.

    Louis Malle (a French perv director) gave the world Pretty Baby, showing far more of Brooke Shields than he had to. She was also in Blue Lagoon, a skin flick about a castaway incestuous brother and sister. Last Tango in Paris had a bloated ham and a 16-year-old locked in a specific act still illegal in some U.S. states and territories. None of that new. They introduced it years ago and just kept feeding us more until we got numb from it.

    Nowadays there's a feature getting trashed on Netflix. More kiddie-porn in fancy wrapping. I won't give it free advertising by mentioning its name. But kids are involved. Sexualized to a graphic extreme.

    It's Hollywood. Anything for great art, right?

    And why are people upset over this book from a French woman that sold 2,500 copies? This book is her opinion about men. So what? I just ignore her and move on with me life. The day I get all bothered by someone like this is the day I should promptly eat a bullet.

    True. Women are always going to bitch. Best to just ignore them. As another poster pointed out though, I believe a book entitled "I hate women" would garner a much different response from authorities and society. It's really just worth pointing out the level of hypocrisy and decay in society especially in a post-christian western world. Punching up is not okay, and it doesn't make anything even.

    Why did you create two threads on this irrelevant story from France?
