Never say what you think cause it might offend someone.
If you mean to get into politics, you shouldn't let the world know you're a vicious prick until after you're elected.

I know. You want to whimper about how this is a freedom of speech issue. Bullshit. He ain't entitled to political office, and no government is taking action against him. So sit in the corner, whine about how everybody's so mean to you, and drink a juice box.

“in a world of breast implants, fast food and cheap beer, what’s not to love about being a man.”
Oooo what a misogynist. Give me a f*cking break. Then again, as a Dipper I'm surprised he's even allowed to call himself a male. Oh wait, maybe that's it, he didn't use one of the 36 acceptable gender pronouns to identify himself.

If you want people to vote for you, it's probably a bad idea to come across as a jerk to most of them. Wait a minute, that does seem to be the new success plan.

The only comment the citation gave was the following:
In 2011, his website called The Bullpen published comments that said “in a world of breast implants, fast food and cheap beer, what’s not to love about being a man.”

That seems pretty damn mild.I mean, if this is the standard than no guy who ever used an internet forum is allowed to hold public office.

It's good he stepped down.
If your an ND and a Man, you should probably step down on principle. Men are swines eh!!

Our PM wants the bosses in the RCMP to be all female eh, kinda adds more meaning to our police force being the Fuzz eh.
