Given your glib interpretation, I'm not sure I understand exactly why you think this guy sucks, unless you were looking for some 1940's porn ("Stories of women doing lousy things"). He merely seems to be providing an equally shrill counterpoint to some of the literature on the other side. Child custody cases in which both parents are equally fit almost always go to the mother (http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/08094.htm) and domestic abuse by women against men is both underreported and not taken seriously (http://www.oregoncounseling.org/Handouts/DomesticViolenceMen.htm). It seems just as chauvanistic to believe that women can only be a victim or only not be a victim, but never the aggressor. Though I suspect your generic, panty-peeling, kneejerk response has been rewarded in similar situations before, you've provided no information to show why you hold this opinion.
When in the holy fuck did I ever say that women can't be aggressors or villains or that men can't be victims? That's a thousand miles away from setting up a blog specifically to document grotesque acts of violence committed by women.
The custody system may well be fucked up (I don't know enough about it, but I can certainly believe that a lot of men get really unfairly screwed in the process) and I believe that men can be domestically abused (although they usually face nowhere near the physical threat that women do in the same situation). However, that absolutely pales in comparison to what the vast majority of women throughout history and around the world have endured because of the fact of being women. Throughout most of human existence, women have been treated like shit. Feminism, for most of its existence, has meant "stop treating women like shit". And for men like this guy to now say that feminism is some evil, unnatural, "poisonous" thing that aims to oppress men is just offensive. If men are being discriminated against (and I know they sometimes are), by all means fight against that. But to whine and whine about how American men have been so wounded and damaged by feminism is just pathetic and bizarre to me.
I hold the opinion that he sucks because he's being an asshole.
By the way, what is that electromagnetism site? I can't figure it out. There are lots of cat GIFs though.
You didn't, but there you go: actual anaysis. This whole nasty affair could've been avoided if you'd simply stated your reasons in the first place. Also, glib seems to be an oft misunderstod word, like innocuous: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/glib
I take it to be overly simplistic, obstuse, etc, even though that's not eactly what dictionary.com says it to be.

panty-peeling! Mmmmmmmmmmm!
As a woman, I am not surprised.
I do like his use of lousy. Not used much anymore.
It's fun if you remember that it's supposed to mean infested with lice. It's been overused into a whole category of words vaguely meaning "not good".
