This woman said it far better than I could:

Melissa,

I just wanted to tell you that I completely agreed with your article in the Huffington Post. As a tomboy myself, a woman who loves sports and action movies more than chick flicks and chopped salad for dinner, I have always been able to befriend men much more easily than women (who have always intimidated me). And all of my male friends, including my brothers and my father, are nothing, absolutely nothing like George Ouzounian. Yet they perfectly encapulate the type of manly qualities that elude men like Ouzounian. My mother (and father) always told me that it takes a strong man to be with a strong woman, and this fact only becomes more real to me every day (especially when reading blogs like Ouzounian’s). It’s no surprise that men like Ouzounian feel the need to attack the very thing that threatens them, and so they fall back on their perceived notions of manliness in order to prevent their emasculation by women who have brazenly demanded equal treatment as human beings. The fact is that real men don’t need to trample other people in order to make themselves feel more powerful or strong. Anyone who gets his/her validation through demeaning others is never as strong and powerful as he/she would like to make others believe.

It’s sad but true, that there will always be men like Ouzounian and his readers out there, just like there are still hilljacks from my hometown who think that black people are somehow less human and should not associate with members of the white race. However, the difference between the hilljacks and people like George Ouzounian is that we’ve come to the point where we regard the hilljacks as pathetic morons who are too stupid to ever get a clue, while Ouzounian is still basking in the backlash glow. I mean there was a time when being a Ku Klux Klan member could get you a seat on the United States Supreme Court, whereas today it’s obviously completely unacceptable. Eventually, I believe (or hope, rather), the same will be true of people’s attitudes towards sexism and homophobia–obviously that day is not today, but I’m sure in 20 or so years people who peddle mysogny (and anti-gay bigotry I might add) will be seen as the pathetic ones. It’s a tough adjustment for them to have to treat people as equals, but eventually society as a whole will demand it.

Anyway, I am happy with the knowledge that my male friends and family are strong enough in their manhood that they don’t feel the need to prove it by attacking women. It’s really pretty sad, but I’ll take my manly men any day over pussies like Ouzounian.

Sincerely,
XXXXXXX

P.S. I’m about to take the LSAT this coming Monday (I want to go into prosecution/public interest), and I find it interesting after studying all these logical reasoning questions, that your opponents’ most common response is to attack you personally rather than what you have to say. It’s funny, I’ve been spending months picking out the flaws in arguments, and the “attack the person not the argument” flaw is so obvious and easy to pick out when it’s on the test, yet so prevalent in real life. Again, kind of sad, really.
