Your first sentence does not track to me, you're conflating the observer's lens and the lens he's observing. "hysterical" is just editorial, the actual lens in question is just the current popular liberal worldview. And yes, it's possible to believe that that lens has value while simultaneously recognizing that some people use it like a weapon to bludgeon anyone who doesn't conform to the party line. Maybe you think the first comment is in poor taste, but I encourage you to soberly consider: is cm2187 a chauvinist pig at war with equality, or is he a disinterested humorist pointing out an absurdity?
