By Merete Schmidt, published 15/6/2009

A study in a rural town found that young men and women who rejected either alcohol, football or both became socially isolated.

C J Morgan, "Cornflower's absolutely correct. I apologise unreservedly to all gay men for suggesting that a pair of misogynist idiots might be homosexual."

No, what you did was call posters 'closet queens' to humiliate and belittle them. As you very well know, 'closet queen' is an abusive epithet for homosexuals who are fearful of making their private preferences public. It is a hateful epithet and the way you used it of it made that quite clear to your targets and to other readers. You certainly did not intend it as compliment to gays did you? It is because people like you bully and name call that gays fear public disclosure.

You apparently do not have the sensitivity, grace or goodwill to apologise properly and fully to gays and instead you are casting around for a diversion. I pity you for your prejudice.

CJ " so passionately defends a couple of this forum's most prolific woman-haters"

Perhaps it's because Cornflower does not see them as woman haters but rather opponents of feminism. The two are not necessarily the same. I happen to disagree with their views on most forms of feminism but don't accept that a disagreement with feminism is necessarily "woman hating".

Calling them woman haters is a useful wedge tool but it does not add to the debate, rather it's a tactic to try and silence their views or intimidate others from giving support to any of their views.

Oh come off it R0bert - while some people who post here endlessly about gender issues restrict their antipathy to feminism, these two prats have evidenced their disdain for women in general time and again.

Cornflower, you positively ooze disingenuousness. Do you lie straight in bed?

You are tricky with your fudging, baiting and diversions, but you can't conceal your adamant refusal to withdraw your homophobic remark.

That is cowardly and pitiful.

So until you accept personal responsibility for your mean disposition and bigotry, enjoy your tricky parlour games and have your usual rotten day.

BTW, gays are nothing for you to be afraid of and nor are the other men and women around you - they are most likely trying to give you as wide a berth as possible and for obvious reasons.

People like antiseptic and a few others on this topic need to drop their anti female dogma and antipathy towards females. Their stupidity and fear of women stands out like a sore thumb. They need to emerge from their 1950's dogma and grow up a bit. They provide a good laugh though. Why? Because the backward fools actually take themselves seriously. Pathetic, but comical nonetheless.

R0bert:"I happen to disagree with their views on most forms of feminism"

In what respects?

CJMorgan:"these two prats have evidenced their disdain for women in general"

Not at all, little fella. There are some women for whom I have the greatest of respect, because they contribute much and demand little.

On the other hand are the entitlement junkies and professional victims who I despise because they contribute little and demand much.

With me so far, little fella? I know that thinking isn't your forte, so take your time.

Now that you've got the idea that it's possible to hold an opinion of someone on the basis of their individual characteristics, rather than because of their gender, you might start to grasp that the reason people hold you in contempt is because you're contemptible, not because you're a rather limp male.

Glad we got that cleared up, feel free to ask questions if you're having trouble understanding the concepts.

Yes dear...
