Um, I don't know, haha
Posted Feb 18, 2009
The Pros
You had an interesting subject matter. I enjoyed reading most of it.
The Cons
You didn't really present a clear and educated article of writing. It sounded all over the place and sounded like you mighta been a little intoxicated and it was a little insulting, actually. This isn't a great piece of writing and you coulda done a lot better with this subject. Instead, it turned out more like a snarky rebel yell.
Final Thoughts
It is a great taboo subject and you had an opportunity to do something fantastic with it and instead, you chose to get angry and you let your emotions get the better of you.

Just when I thought I wouldn't get anymore reviews on this article. It's weird how all of the early reviews on this piece were positive and the later ones are all negative. But whatever your opinion, thanks for the feedback. The more the merrier. You do have a good point -- I did let my emotions get the better of me. But since the whole point of the article was to get the reader to laugh, while simultaneously (if I'm lucky) getting him or her to think, I'm not going to fret over the fact that I sounded all-over-the-place or uneducated : )

Could have been great
Posted Nov 1, 2008
The Pros
The topic is taboo and needs to be discussed more.
The Cons
Your try so hard to be funny in a ''badass nerd'' way it just gets obnoxious and even unfunny, which completely ruins the article.
Final Thoughts
I hope you sincerely don't think equality is limited to legal status, then this article lost even more of it's credibility, which it really had, hidden somewhere in all the unbearable angst-ridden self-promoting amateur sit up comedy. Though I don't expect that you'll change your writing attitude anytime soon since you're following what's trendy now.
Author's Reply
Considering the subject matter of the article, I'm really surprised that this is the first "thumbs down" review I've gotten. Also, I wasn't aware that it had any hidden credibility to begin with. That's really all I can say, since I'm not going to argue about whether or not I'm funny. To each his own.

Ever heard of Maddox?
Posted Sep 14, 2008
The Pros
Funny, typical angry young man rant. Believe it or not, despite it sounding derogatory, this is a good thing.
The Cons
There's a little bit of a "4chan" element in this, something I really shy away from because the people who frequent boards like that tend to have barely any social intelligence and assert some arrogant superiority complex over anyone who isn't, like them, a "channer". Plus, you DO sound a little bit like Maddox. I'm assuming from the tone of this you know who he is.
Final Thoughts
Unoriginal, clearly born out of frustration, but if taken as merely opinion rather than an attempt at education, funny as hell.
Author's Reply
Damn... you know, I'm always afraid of people comparing me to Maddox, as if he invented arrogance and sarcasm. Although, since I used to be somewhat of a fan of him, I can't say with absolute certainty that his writing style didn't influence mine. On a related note, aside from my arrogant superiority complex, I'm not sure exactly where you saw the similarity to that "4chan" brand of esoteric internet humor we know and love. But, once again, maybe their influence on me is simply more obvious than I think it is.
In any case, I'm glad you thought it was funny, and although I'd normally be slightly offended by the word "typical," it was part of my intention to sound like an exaggerated version of the typical male.
And to clear up one more thing, for the benefit of future readers: To call this article an attempt at education, while I find it slightly flattering, is indeed inaccurate, although I'm not sure if it's much better to call it "merely opinion" since the opinions here are hardly my own. (In other words, I'm not quite as arrogant and sexist as my writing makes me look.) When I write humor, my own "honest opinions" take a back seat to whatever makes me laugh.
Rather than trying to classify this article as education or opinion or humor, you'd probably do best to take everything I say in this article with a grain of salt (or fifty); be aware that I'm making a point, but keep in mind that you're supposed to laugh at it, not get angry.
So anyway, thanks for the review, Chris : )

Well then
Posted Sep 12, 2008
The Pros
Everyone likes looking at boobs. Boobs are awesome, and anyone that says otherwise are lying to themselves as well as the world.
Everyone is dressing to be attractive to whoever or whatever they want to bang. Guys do it just as much as girls. Hetero, Metro, Homo, whatever, guys are just as much eye candy as the whores standing on the corner.
The Cons
I wanted to hate your article. But most everything you hit on was true.
You need to get over yourself, but let's face it, everyone is the center of their own little universe so why should you be any different? You shouldn't, so go on with your bad self.
Went off topic more than I would have liked, took my away from the article in more than one instance, so watch that.
Final Thoughts
Boobs are awesome. This article needs a little trimming, but it's still a 9 out of 10.

Very entertaining
Posted Aug 22, 2008
The Pros
hehe - it looks like you got a load off your chest with that one!
I laughed a lot reading through this, and resonated a lot with your thoughts.
Technically it was a skilfully produced piece.
The Cons
The profanity added to the piece, but also seemed a bit excessive at times. Now don't get me wrong, I have a damn profane mouth, what being Irish and all. I tend to lean against using it more selectively in my writing though, probably just a personal thing though.
While reading it, it jarred the flow for me - thats all
Final Thoughts
Thoroughly enjoyable! I'll remember your name and look forward to your next social commentary

Popular with the Ladies!
Posted Aug 15, 2008
The Pros
Wow. There was a great degree of shock in my mind while reading this. I declare that you are one of the bravest men on the planet; you have seriously gone where no male has gone or even fathomed of going before. This an awesome conversation SMASHER, but it is also a declarative statement for every person with testicles. (Discluding transvestites) Awesome.
The Cons
Nothing that I can see, although a few punctuation errors poked me.
Final Thoughts
A great article. Yeah! Loved it!

Finally, thinking people!
Posted Aug 5, 2008
The Pros
Go honesty! This article basically laid out the breakdown of the subject, and the logic is hard to argue with. I'm printing this out 12 thousand times and wallpapering my house with it.
The Cons
No cons come to mind, but lemme try... uhh... the picture next to the title is kinda small... alright I got nothing.
Final Thoughts
Epic win.
