“A friend of mine says that this is because women have been systematically excluded by a hard core of "good old boys," but that strikes me as knee-jerk femsymp rhetoric, and anyway it doesn't change the facts.”
“[…] you few loathsome Lecters and Dahmerites, you libertarians, deer hunters, anchormen, bureaucrats, convicts, bleeding hearts, bikers, femsymps and harassers, Rotarians and punks. Welcome, over-mortgaged yuppie.”
