This was the horrible website I was referring to today:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.returnofkings.com/
Wow, here's the website description :"Return Of Kings is a blog for heterosexual, masculine men. It’s meant for a small but vocal collection of men in America today who believe men should be masculine and women should be feminine.
DeleteRoK aims to usher the return of the masculine man in a world where masculinity is being increasingly punished and shamed in favor of creating an androgynous and politically-correct society that allows women to assert superiority and control over men. Sadly, yesterday’s masculinity is today’s misogyny. The site intends to be a safe corner of the web for those men who don’t agree with the direction that Western culture is headed.
Women and homosexuals are prohibited from commenting here. They will be immediately banned."
