Reminds me of the Anita Sarkeesian harassment incidents. It seems like these days the easiest way to piss off a bunch of guys on the internet is to tell them that somewhere a woman disapproves of them.

EDIT: upon further reflection, I realized that the message these guys must be hearing is "you aren't allowed to court women", the implication of this being that they'll never get laid, find a girlfriend, marry, or otherwise get to enjoy the company of women. Given that message, I understand the angry responses, but that's not the message she's saying.

Or maybe these guys are just sick of "american women." I hear that a lot from various guys, that "they're extremely picky and that it's hard to make traction with them." I don't know how true that is, I need more data to figure this thing out.
