You may recall my personal nemesis, Satoshi Kanazawa, from this longwinded bit of commentary I did in 2007 in response to his ridiculous article, “Ten Politically Incorrect Truths about Human Nature.”

My friends, I have an announcement to make to you all:
I am a Gatekeeper of Feminism!!1
That’s right, I exercise my amazing, all-encompassing power to tell men to “STFU and get to the back of the feminist bus,” and I exercise this power willfully, indiscriminately, immorally, and much to the distaste of most people who would [...]
