I know a lot of men who prefer music with vocals. God, what a FUCKING MISANTHROPE I AM for daring to write that! > Let me ask you something...

People like you really bug > me out. Unlike you, I don't believe that someone who has different tastes from me is a loser. My wife prefers non-instrumental music; I prefer instrumental music. This is great - there is room for both, and there is music we both enjoy. The key here is that there was nothing derisive towards women in what I wrote, but you, in your rush to judge everyone who doesn't fit your idea of political correctness, interpreted it as such. Sorry you can't handle a true statement and have to read your own hatred of others into it. If I had written "virtually all the women I know have two arms, two legs, and two eyes", would you say that I "clearly look down on 'females'? Why is one observation more derogatory than the other? I made NO value judgement - you did. Che
