So men can't get hysterical, in the broader sense of the word? That's just
bullshit, and you know it. Exhibit A: Howard Stern. You think his
paranoid rants over the last couple of weeks about how he's too dangerous
(fifth-grade-level titty jokes are "dangerous" now?) and now the government
are trying to silence him forever don't fit in the broader definition of
"hysterical"? If not, then what word applies?

That I do. When I think someone deserves it. That someone can be a man or
a woman. This time, it happened to be a woman.

Good for you. I'm glad that you're helping fight the good fight. Doesn't
change the fact that in this particular case, about THIS PARTICULAR VIDEO,
I thought you were completely and utterly over the top. I still think that.
Look, I'm genuinely sorry if you honestly think that I was being sexist in
my use of the word "swivet." If you don't believe I wasn't, then I'm
sorry, but there's nothing I can do to change your mind. If you DON'T
actually believe that and you're just trying to score rhetorical points by
claiming sexism where it didn't exist -- and come to think of it, why are
you on MY case when Segarini's sneering "take a pill" was
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY closer to sexism than anything I said? -- then
there's nothing I can say after I've said fuck off.
