I have nothing to add to the current wank debate, except:

Misogyny: a hatred of women

Sexism: 1: prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially discrimination against women
2: behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex

Words. Ur doing them wrong.

He's a pretty typical working-class guy who hasn't been exposed much to the culture of politcally correct touchy-feeliness that Sam, for example, has had some experience with out on a California college campus.

In my own experience, he's actually *less* sexist than most of the people I know, and that includes the women. Maybe I know the wrong people. *shrugs*

I've been wondering if we've seen any stats on the insults towards/killing or mistreatment of *men* on the show, since these kinds of discussions always seem to be about the women, like only women are the victims of whatever -ism that's under the microscope. It wouldn't be sexist to insult *evil* women if you're insulting all the *evil* people/things, in general. Or just impatiently being equally pissy or bubble-busting towards all the pop culture holy icons and pretentiousness you encounter.

Damn, I keep saying I don't want to get drawn into this "debate" (ha), but it is difficult to resist.
