		<description>The flip side of that is that as this idiot points out, guys feel as if they HAVE to &quot;bang a million women&quot; in order to not harm their reputation. C&#039;mon now Dana, gender stereotypes help no one.</description>

		<description>Egnu Cledge: errm, you do realise that&#039;s referring to the university&#039;s attempt to exert editorial control over the newspaper? That&#039;s... sensitive territory, mostly because of the long and rather dubious history of university control of student newspapers for political reasons. The mere fact that they can exert censorship of the newspaper is a big deal - while this time around it&#039;s for a good cause, the next time it could be because one of their wealthy donors doesn&#039;t like something published there.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s some garbage in response to his garbage. I hope he reads it. Maybe he should have an adversary who attempts to give him a dose of his own medicine. :-)

Hey girls. Remember the last time you decided to take a guy a home and were disappointed beyond belief? You thought you had enough to drink to kill his god awful body smell and then the worst, he isn’t even man enough to perform the job. What a waste of time you say (most of the time it is)? Sure it is, but it can be a great learning experience for both of you. Men like this are great target practice and can help you learn to be confrontational.

Make sure you tell him that you didn’t get ‘yours’ and that you actually need for it to last longer than a minute to make that happen. Don’t ever fake it. Its is a disservice to both of you. Make sure you tell him where he stands in the scope of your own knowledge about penis size. The truth may hurt but, the truth is the truth. Stop stroking the egos of men that need serious criticism. Especially if he’s one of those beautiful muscle heads, he may need more criticism than usual because most women won’t give him the criticism he needs and deserves. To make him a better lover, insults work.

The male ego is so fragile he may get angry with you, no worries…… earlier in the night make sure you told him about your hidden handgun, he may think twice about pissing you off or not being open to your helpful advice. He will definitely be more receptive to your advice if you never sleep with him again. This always works. He may even beg for a chance to make it up to you. If you didn’t find him receptive to instruction on the first visit, then why do it again anyway? If he’s receptive, then maybe he’s trainable, and another chance may be acceptable.

Now get out there and make men…better men. You’ll need them in life for little else than personal pleasure. Or sperm of course. Fortunately, they just give the stuff away. So get out there and tell men the truth about how you find them lazy, good for nothing lovers. You’re going to masturbate and fall asleep after he leaves anyway. Make sure he knows that. The next girl he sleeps with may thank you. Happy hunting girls.</description>

		<description>A quick Google of &quot;Chris Surette&quot; reveals evidence of his assholery as results 3, 5, 6, 7, and 10 on the first page. One can hope that all potential dates and employers will do their diligence before meeting this guy face-to-face.</description>

		<description>Sheelzebub, I has teh co-thinkin&#039; crushes on you. I am so very tired of the satire excuse. Newsflash. If your great art is a satire and people aren&#039;t getting it, it doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re an extra great artist, it means you need to get better at communicating your actual meaning. EITHER, you are doing satire NOT VERY WELL or you are just being a tosspot. Pick a side already.</description>

		<description>1) People who consider this satire should learn what the fuck satire actually IS.  

2) Surrette and his ilk don&#039;t need girlfriends.  Their problem isn&#039;t being awkward around women.  Plenty of &lt;i&gt;women&lt;/i&gt; are awkward around &lt;i&gt;men&lt;/i&gt; and manage not to be hateful.  What he wrote was pretty damn misogynist.  There&#039;s no excuse for that.</description>

You very nearly made my day.  Kudos.</description>

		<description>&quot;*cough*Tucker Max*cough*, *cough*Levi Strauss*cough*,&quot;

Perhaps you mean Neil Straus. I don&#039;t think Levi Strauss was too succesful with women, especially after Glorai Vanderbilt arrrived. The jury&#039;s out on Claude Lévi-Strauss however, until we can see a structural pattern. Don&#039;t get me started on Leo straus though--women couldn&#039;t keep their hands off him--no matter what Allan Bloom says.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;There’s probably an intent to be sartirical, which doesn’t really work out, &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Reason enough for an editor to have spiked the column.  If you&#039;re going for satire, and you miss, it&#039;s a big FAIL, and shouldn&#039;t be printed.  This rule applies regardless of subject matter.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;There’s an underlying disrespect (exacerbated by homosociality). Helping him be successful will not eliminate that disrespect – it will probably make other men think the same way, because they think it’s the disrespect that got him the success.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This assumes in the first place that the article has anything to do with &quot;not getting laid&quot;.  From what I&#039;ve seen, a lot of groups will reinforce viewpoints like the one mentioned here, whether the people within the group are having a lot of sex or not.  (The opinions are more associated with competition than anything else, of any sort.)

As mentioned above, any sort of &quot;He can&#039;t get laid&quot; is quite insulting anyway  (As there are a lot of reasons someone might not be having much success.), whether it is used in the sense of &quot;That&#039;s person&#039;s inferior&quot; or &quot;That person just needs help  (Which begs the question of where more respectful people who don&#039;t get this sort of attention are supposed ot do.)</description>
