Don't Be An Awful Sexist
We like women. We like talking to 'em, we like looking at 'em, we like sitting behind 'em on the bus and sniffing their hair. We like women so much, in fact, that we're willing to set aside our sense of self-entitlement to give this whole "equal opportunity" thing a shot. Who knows, if we all try hard enough, maybe one day it'll actually happen!

"Your technique's all wrong", I'd say, staring into your eyes whilst you awkwardly continued thrusting, "it's all about the fluidity of your motion, not the force of it. What the fuck is wrong with you?" Yeah, that's what gay people have to deal with.

It's good to have a hobby. It distracts you from the looming inevitability of death. Unfortunately, many men take their hobby too far. "I EAT, SLEEP AND BREATHE [insert name of sports team here]", they say.

However, it does sound a lot more reasonable.
