Of course you can't.

Yes, I would agree. All of us (that you are thinking of here) are smart, interesting, versatile, reasonably wise and never dull. > After all, it is not every Internet forum on which you can > find a bunch of "girls" whose emotional maturity > stopped at the same level yours did, in high school. This is true. But it doesn't apply to this situation. > > I fully understand how guys such as yourself would > feel most comfortable around women most guys would > consider petty, vindictive uberbitches; Explain what you mean by "guys such as yourself" with relation to Ravi. Ravi does not, for example, appear to be anything like you Barry. He is neither misogynistic, weak minded, or repetitive in the way that is so predictable and, frankly, uninteresting. That is a good start to 'qualify' to hang out with me. >that is, after all, one of the reasons the universe in its > infinite wisdom evolved the concept of "fag hag." Interesting theory of how the universe works and/or how smart that universe is and in what way that 'infinite wisdom' manifests itself. > > If you ever feel that you've evolved enough to hang > with actual adult women who have things to say other > than sniping at other women, might I suggest that you > converse occasionally with Susan, Sal, Ruth, Oh dear, oh dear. I think Ravi probably has conversed with all of these people already Barry. Just because you get along with certain members of this little place we call FFL doesn't mean they are innately more mature, it just means they don't give you a hard time. > or others who aren't emotionally and intellectually stuck in the > halcyon days of their teens. I'm not sure anyone on this planet had 'halcyon days' as a teen. >They won't stroke you and > pretend that you're actually a real guy like the fag > hags do, but you might learn something new, and that > would be a change for you. So let's see, you are demeaning gays and women at the same time. Can we call you a redneck, small minded or bigoted? Maybe just Dr Barry, closet shrink and psychological hit man prescribing what is best for others. This was fun as an exercise, thank you for the opportunity to rebut you. Next time, try to make some points that are a bit more challenging though, okay? >
