This is a trend I've noticed in Yahoo. Whenever there is any gender-related article, they merrily allow men to post all kinds of rude and crude "jokes" about women in their Comments sections. However, every time I try to publish a remark/reply under Comments, even mildly mocking men, it is promptly rejected!
Here's the latest example: The web site address of the article in discussion (Mystery Man Spells Out Heartbreak on His Van): http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/mystery-man-spells-heartbreak-van-171052478--abc-news-topstories.html
The story is about a man posting the following message on a side of his van in a bid to win back his girlfriend:
"Linda, I'm sorry, I'm a fool and an idiot sometimes, I love you with all my heart, Please come home and put this right. We miss you!! I miss us. I want to grow old with you, Will you marry me?"
This is a copy of the comment I attempted, without success, to post on Yahoo:
Breaking News! Linda's response on the other side of the van:
"Bubba, I accept your apology. You are a fool and an idiot ALL THE TIME! Your cheating heart might "love" me in its own way, but I need a man with a Brain! I AM home far away from you, because this is where my heart is; besides, I can't "right" your "wrongs"! When you say "We Miss You", do you mean the whore I caught you with??!! When you add "I Miss Us" are you referring to a Menage a Trois??!! It's a scary thought that you might live to be an old man; if I spend any more time with you, I'll age 5 times faster than I normally would! Since you have popped the question, here's my answer: No Way In Hell!!!!"
What, pray tell, is so offensive about that??!! In comparison with some of the gross comments men regularly leave about women, this is peanuts!!!!

DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES AT "YAHOO" CONTINUE:
In the Tennis section of Yahoo Sports, some racist who goes by the name of "Above Avg Dude" has posted the following comment. Yahoo has proudly published this "gem" from him:
"LISTEN, I marvel at RAFA a lot, but Rafa is clearly on PEDs and Djoker started last year; hence, his sudden domination. So maybe Rafa started taking even more? Ha.
Just carefully look at both of their arms and bodies a few years ago and today.
Anyone denying that is on drugs themselves!!!!!"
However, this response from me is apparently unacceptable:
"Above Avg Dude has spent his entire life behind bars...that's where he was considered above average! Are his eyes defective too? Nole LOOKS like a guy on steroids?! I think Nole looks more like Stan Laurel (from Laurel & Hardy)! Rafa is muscular, but nothing like those PED-pumped pro wrestlers! Rafa is too gorgeous, talented & wealthy...hence a lot of guys are insanely jealous of him!
Another mind-boggling question: How come Rafa & Nole accusers don't notice how Roger Federer never gets tired, always looks fresh as a lily + miraculously displays more stamina than guys 1/2 his age??!! If, as per AAD's advice, you look carefully, then: ALL HAIL ROGER 'PED'-ERER!'
