Its probably equally belittling to say that Erik should behave in a certain way based on your expectations of how someone with a certain chronological age should behave.
It would be like sying you couldn't believe single women over 35 that go out and party don't won't to settle down and have kids.
I am not defending erik. I don't know who started it here or elsewhere, but there is enough hostility all around to make it hard to debate topics.
Also, always remember: Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean they are not right. And vice versa.

But, honestly, Erik, you're HOW old? Most people in your age range (like, oh, say, my grandparents) would not a) stoop to belittling insults to a female 1/3 of their age and b) if so, refer to them as "hoggers" or "losers".
And I really don't think there is an overage of "angry women" on GC. I think there are a lot of women who have been taught that we don't HAVE to be treated like crap, nor is it okay for a man to talk down to us. But hey, that's just my theory on the matter. If that makes me angry, awesome.
