I know a lot of men who prefer music with vocals. God, what a FUCKING
MISANTHROPE I AM for daring to write that!

Unlike you, I don't believe that someone who has different tastes from me
is a loser. My wife prefers non-instrumental music; I prefer instrumental
music. This is great - there is room for both, and there is music we
both enjoy.
The key here is that there was nothing derisive towards women in what I
wrote, but you, in your rush to judge everyone who doesn't fit your idea
of political correctness, interpreted it as such. Sorry you can't handle
a true statement and have to read your own hatred of others into it. If I
had written "virtually all the women I know have two arms, two legs, and
two eyes", would you say that I "clearly look down on 'females'? Why is
one observation more derogatory than the other? I made NO value
judgement - you did.
