The "hog wash" is the idea that people are somehow "wired" to land on one side or the other of this fence in the first place. The reality is, they get "trained" to be. And, by trained I mean that there is a culture, arising out of thousands of years of seeing women as property, which still exist in the assumption that, among other things, guys are owed sex, or dates, and they should congratulate each other on how many women they manage to bed, etc. Things that land smack in the middle of everything from TV to movies, which do not always include any sort of real consequence to the people doing it (on the contrary, you can't get the wack jobs, like the one that had planned to shoot up a sorority, if there isn't actually a tendency for total and complete assholes to be somewhat successful at getting women). Thankfully this is becoming, despite the constant bombardment of stupidity, more of a subculture, than mainstream, but it doesn't do anything to stop angsty, frustrated, teens from forming packs, and "rediscovering" this nonsense, especially if they are *not* popular, or their hobbies are still perceived as "male oriented", or they are too involved in them to work out just why women are not just flocking to their sides, like hummingbirds to a garden.

That the real problem is not women, or feminists, or any of the other BS, but their own attitudes, which are invariably centered around believing that the universe *should* pamper them, and having screaming fits when it doesn't. And, yes, I have seen this stupid nonsense from relatives, who, even while the whined about the "unfairness of the world", where systematically sabotaging everything from their own relationships, to their own businesses, because they couldn't pull their heads out of their backsides. But, heh, none of them where also "gamers", so I guess the similarity isn't relevant, or something... lol
