I was laughing my ass off at the Courtly Gent one. I could see the face of one specific, irritating example of the Courtly Gent who insisted on peppering a political conversation with "miss", "my dear", and other totally irrelevant gender references clearly intended to assume a patronizing tone. This guy, once called on it, turned into the Slobbering Yahoo.

I'd offer up as another marker for the Slobbering Yahoo that a woman he can't otherwise justify not wanting to sleep with who doesn't want to sleep with him must, of course, be a gold-digger not satisfied by his wallet or a lesbian. If she's not into him, it isn't ever his fault for being an asshole.

I wonder often why it is that so many straight men seem to genuinely hate women, and how it is that their expressions of that hate are so contradictory. Women who enjoy hair, clothes, and makeup or going to the gym are shallow and vain. Women who don't are fat ugly slobs. Women who are higher paid than the confused straight guy in question are bitches who probably slept their way to the top. Women who earn less than he does are money grubbing whores. Women who don't want sex are frigid cockteases. Women who do are sluts. The Madonna/Whore complex seems inadequate to explain or even describe the mental map of these woman-hating straight guys. It makes me wonder if, at some level, they resent being sexually attracted to women.
