    "Women owe men. Women, as a class, as a sex, owe men sex, love, attention, “adoration”, in Rodger’s words. We owe them respect and obedience, and our refusal to give it to them is to blame for their anger, their violence - stupid sluts get what they deserve."

I'm not sure what Penny is trying to achieve with this article. If she intended to make so-called 'mysoginists' more considerate of her point of view, sweeping generalisations like the one above certainly won't avail her.
