The word is "lewd."
Also, why spend so much time on one nut job?

1. I know that, but that was how it was spelled in the comment that I had quoted.
2. Technically, that comment I quoted in said post was from someone else entirely, but to answer your question: because it can be pretty funny.
I myself identify as masculinist, for what it's worth.

I have to ask, what does masculinist mean for you? Is that to do with the idea that society has somehow become matriarchal, or wanting a promotion of better understanding of masculinity and the male identity, or a position of wanting equality between genders but not wanting to use the term feminist since it might be seen as an appropriation of something that should only be claimed by women?

Feminism is one of those things I should aim to get more than casually acquainted with after I'm done reading dead white men.

Same here, although it's dead black women for me right now an English degree makes the old white dudes my bread and butter. I'd most particularly like to know more about how feminism deals with the fact that gender isn't the binary that it's normally constructed to be. One of the the many problems I have with essays like this one is that they reduce things to men and women which silences all of those people who are both, neither or some blend of the two. There isn't a clear cut division between the sexes, that's just something we've created.
Narr:
Well, I have to disagree to an extent. There IS an inherent difference between men and women. It's just not AS GREAT as history would have you think. It's up to us as educated people to get men and women closer on an intellectual and societal level.
a pack of wolves:
But what is it, and where does that position all the people who are trans or intersex?

I identify as a masculinist, and I feel that the concept is one of promoting gender equality. Masculinists seek to dispell the bias in the legal system and social mores that teach the idea that violence between men or done to men is somehow less serious or even humorous, while the same act done to a woman by a man is viewed as many times worse. Masculinists disagree with the "myth of innocence" often associated with women where a woman accusing a man is often automatically believed simply because she is a woman, resulting in a legal system where men are often presumed guilty whenever a female accuser is involved They feel that men are not viewed as a victims of sexual assault, but only perpetrators. Mostly, we just say that there are gender roles within our society that are bad for men, and we want to see those changed and corrected. Unfortunately masulinists are often viewed as "anti-femisists" or even misogonysts, neither of which are the case.
