Would you rather men were violent to each other? Go do some knitting in the French Alps. They say it to stick up for woman-kind? Go right ahead, ladies. Those Brobot haters can go frikkin hang, anyways? They're just jealous they don't have their own wieners or something. That much warmth from another dude would be a turn on (if he was hot), right?
