And what was that about a challenge? Heaven knows I like them.

But granted, many people do take it too far. When anything remotely male-oriented pops up, I know people who will sjump on the words and miss the meaning. Exempli gratia: "Herstory."
My history class really is "his story" because the textbook, research info, and the whole damn nine yards were written by middle-age white males, but that's beside the point. When people show disrespect for males in order to hike up female rights, it's pointless, and just as unfair.

Methinks equality is an empty dream, but oh how I like to dream it.
