All the self proclaimed nice guys in this thread that are ashamed of your masculinity, keep doing what you're doing. Seriously, it makes life easier for me.
I'm really not sure what his end goal is. I'm guessing it's to bait me into revealing my sexual exploits on the internet so he can:
A) Call me a liar
B) Create some arbitrary number of sexual exploits that indicate "real manliness" and then mock me if I don't reach it
C) Give me one of those creepy, old-guy high-fives?

You appear to have a playground-level understanding of complex social constructs like masculinity.

I like how if you don't categorize women by the HB scale, engage Kino as quickly as possible, and aim to conquer, objectify, and own, you're a friendzoned niceguy apparently.
Ha ha where did I once in the thread categorize or speak of women as conquering? I'm only taking offense to the guys here in a predominantly male discussion where boys are being boys that feel the need to police us and tell us how crude we are. Internet white knights are such buzzkill.
How far?
Well, I got married to a lovely lady just last year.
Does that mean I win? Or do I lose?
I'm not sure how to categorise that in a world where women are objects and part of a game. Surely you can tell me.
I'm married and nothing in my life is a game to me. Talking about topics such as the one GirlySports started is a game and you guys take the fun out of it. When did the internet become such serious business?

What's your favorite opener, a neg or a vague compliment?
Do you prefer a trilby or a fedora to catch a ladies eye?

Honestly, knowing what type of poster you are I'm not going to be able to convince you of the roles masculinity, misogyny, etc., play in violence against women. You either do the research and accept that it does or do the research and come up with alternative theories (although I've yet to see anyone who's actually done the research do this), or alternatively you can bullishly go on with the opinion that these things aren't factors, while continuously getting offended whenever anyone challenges the cultural norms that contribute to these issues, because it's inconvenient to your amusement to acknowledge them.
However, what you claim to be "white-knighting" is actually just people refusing to be bystanders. In the same way that people get pissed off about racist remarks and homophobic garbage, there are a lot of us who feel just as strongly about the nonsense that gets spewed towards/about women. And to be honest, this thread hasn't been as horrible as other threads on CP in regards to misogynist comments.
What originally got this thread off track was me just being tired of seeing the same regurgitated material that's become so standard in any thread about women on CP. It's like those old guys around the office who still make Brokeback Mountain jokes or insinuate someone "might be one of them fancy boys" because they think it's hilarious, when really it's pretty tired and unoriginal at this point, and mostly just makes the younger generation roll their eyes.
So, no, I don't think the internet is serious business. As many people have pointed out, my avatar is from a web comic with a pretty twisted sense of humour. I just don't find a lot of this stuff all that funny. It's just really lame.
EDIT: And some of the original posts were funny. There was just a lot of lameness sprinkled in with them.

I'm not unsympathetic to your point, but sometimes we need to ask ourselves why is this a predominantly heterosexual male discussion? Perhaps CalgaryPuck is not as inclusive as it should be? And perhaps there is something that we can do about that (presuming that inclusiveness is a value that we all share)?

I'm just annoyed because it's really unfair to take a side in an argument and then have EE come in and represent the countervailing opinion. Is this some sort of paid service he provides to people to make their views appear more convincing?
