And of course, right there under this article, the very first goddamn comment, given a "Score:5, Informative" by the heroes on Slashdot, is some typical "it isn't just women blah blah blah, men get it even worse yadda yadda yadda" bullshit, which immediately turned into a wholly expected total clusterfuck in the gigantic thread below it.
Help me, Clippy, you're my only hope.
(EDIT) I'm not complaining so much about the veracity, or lack thereof, of the statement in that comment as I am the simple fact that any time, any where, someone posts an article about or makes a comment about sexism against women and how it's not a good thing, invariably some dudebro shows up with that defensive "not all men" or "men have it just as bad as/worse than" crap. It never fails to occur, and it is beyond tiresome to me. (/EDIT)
