Your political overreaction of the *insert time frame here*

Borrowing a line from Hans and Franz the SNL characters, Governor Schwarzenegger called Democrats in the California statehouse "girlie men", or more accurately he said "If they don't have the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the unions, the trial lawyers ... if they don't have the guts, I call them girlie men,"

For this he's being called a "misogynist", "sexist", and "homophobic". You want to complain and say that you're not girlie men, that you're in fact manly men with flannel shirts, muscles, and power tools then fine, but calling it misogynistic, sexist and homophobic? COME ON! Men are men. Women are women. “Girlie man” is no more derogatory towards women than “manly woman” would be towards men.
