I consider myself a nice guy, always respectful of other humans of either gender, and "quietly a gentleman" (ok, those are lyrics I ripped off from a favorite O.A.R. song).

What do I have in common with a rapist or pedophile just because we both have Y chromosomes? Nothing.

To condemn all guys for the acts of the few is stupid. Should we condemn all women or at least women who are mothers because of the fact that Susan Smith in S. Carolina and that woman in Texas drowned their children? That would be just as asinine.
