It's as if they never heard of Gamergate, and the techbro culture. How this is remotely equivalent in anyone's mind is mystifying to me.

This meme came to mind:

Hag is always negative.

...in what world is the word hag seen as negatively as the word bro? It's so disingenuous to make that claim.

In what reality-challenged universe can those two terms be considered comparably offensive?

but I'm going to guess (hope) it's someone who's young enough that he or she completely lacks the context in which the word "hag" has been used in literature.

I find many millennials to be very smart, but because of the way they've been educated "to the test" since No Child Left Behind, they are emerging from school unable to put a context to anything. They haven't had to, and have actually been actually educated not to, because they are searching for the right answer all the time.

There isn't always one right answer. There isn't always a direct comparison.

I can't wait for this primary to end...

...saying "w**re" is equivalent to "stud".

This women-hating is endless, sheez.
