It's good to be periodically reminded of how stupid can be

[These days I try not to read stuff like this because literally all it does is anger up the blood. Nevertheless, sometimes it's worth being reminded that the world is indeed chock-full of idiots and angry people, and we ignore this at our peril.]

"I've gotten tired of girls like you who shamelessly attempt to pry into my career and really the kind of money/earning potential I have," he then messaged. "I put my job in my profile. I now use it as a vetting process to determine the truly shameless and unintelligent ones on here." He later added: "I don't fall victim... to this neo-liberal, Beyonce, feminist cancer which plagues society."

Ah yes, Beyonce : undoubtedly the fifth horseperson of the apocalypse, hell-bent on crushing us all beneath her mighty feet in a storm of uninteresting music. Will she never desist ??? Or will this terrible movement of freedom and equality bring forth demons from the hell-pit to devour the world in a carnal orgy of liberal hoity-toity fannying about ?*

    Maybe if you'd bothered to read more than the OP, you wouldn't have sounded sexist out the gate.
