The only groups that seem to be fair play despite all the nauseating political correctness are white men and Christians.

Your exaggerating is completely unnecessary and you have lost ALL credibility on this subject. Your posts just show how little contact you have with men in the real world. Face it, many of them speak this way about women and they are stupid enough to think it's cool. Justin was stupid enough to do it in front of a microphone. If you had ever spent five minutes in the players lounge of an ATP event you would have heard similar comments at least 30 times. Are you going to organize a boycott of the entire ATP now?

I have been reading and listening to him for years, and every other word that comes out of his mouth demeans women.

He's far too busy working right now to waste time on the internet on blogs such as this. I have to agree with an earlier comment that some of the insults thrown at him here are worse than anything he said. But it's okay for women to insult men, right, after all we are the oppressed. Again, double standard bullshit like that is why I will not label myself as a feminist anymore. You women embarrass me and you should feel embarassed for yourselves. We have real issues to fight for and you are up in arms because some second rate tennis player took lockerroom talk public. You think that men don't use the phrase 'nail her' every day of their lives, then you are naive or ignorant. I'm now coming back here whenever I can for the comedy this has become. Thanks for the entertainment. I’m not Justin, but if it makes you feel better to believe that in your paranoid, hate-filled bubble, go right ahead.
