"they will condescend and belittle women and mansplain to them, from the day they start talking until the day they die. That they will eventually transfer their care-giving needs from me and demand it from some other poor woman"

I posted a link to this in comments on some thread or other and someone suggested I made it a submission - after sitting on it for a long time I thought I might as well post it - it makes me kind of sick that there are people with these attitudes out there - but perhaps it gives an idea to people of groupthink/doublethink taken to extremes and what it results in.

I find the comments equally or more disturbing the the original post.
