I think he is gay just too much of a coward to come out. He makes a big deal about his overcompensating. He is also incapable of talking about women, religion, marriage, or Israel. Still the show is interesting when it has good guests. He is for Obama now but he likes the Clintons. Not sure where you think he fosters that kind of environment though, or that those things are specific to women.
I'm a regular, and sometimes he's a little too permissive, Of course BM is not responsible for the environment which I do think has been fostered by the media and others of mistreatment of women,
Still not sure where you are seeing it. Are you talking about the news media? Or music and the internet?
My personal oppinion it is religion and the religious taint our society has. Attaching shame to sex and sexuality causes so many problems, and allows for so much victimization, while at the same time repressing willingness to come forward.
Troll-rated for the "gay but too much of a coward" comment. You don't know him from Adam, and I disagree with baseless allegations on someone's sexual orientation. No place for that here.
FWIW, I also think that he is disrespectful to women, and I'm an Obama supporter.
I never really consider opinions allegations, and my "I think" was indicating it was my opinion. Because I cannot imagine that someone that derogatory can exist and call himself a liberal. Also the only insult was that he is a coward. Arn't we past thinking sexual orientation is something negative? If I said I think he is purple or a Republican, would you consider that enough to troll rate me?
And you don't have to explain why troll rating anymore, better than 75% of the diaries that make the Recommended list are nothing more than trolls. It's almost a badge of honor these days.
