An Open Letter to Anonymous

I generally don’t editorialize on this blog (except satirically), but today I can’t help myself. In a recent post by Alejandro Guzman a comment was left on his post that at first I thought was a joke. The topic…”Boycott American Women”. Upon further review I realized this chap was dead serious, which made the comment rich for comedy, and so here I go.

I want to point out that “Anonymous” was just that, gutless and refusing to identify himself and in fact he doesn’t even identify himself on his own blog or allow comments. My first thought was how does anyone support a boycott when you can’t even identify who you are supporting? How do you organize a boycott anonymously?

No matter. His blog is a seething attack on an entire population segment with little more than editorial rhetoric to support his point of view. I on the other hand love to research things to get them into some sense of order and perspective. The legal aged (21 and over) female population in the US is about 28% of the total. Of that number, 12% are foreign born. The remaining number of legal aged women in the US is about 1 in 4 people in the total population. Simply information, but here is more perspective. The number of legal aged women in the US is more than twice the entire population of Canada. On the other hand it is less than 0.46% of the female population of India. A lot of statistics I know, but it will come in handy soon.

In the interest of fairness I wanted to figure out what has driven Anonymous over the edge. In the total population in the US the ratio in gender is approximately 1.01 women per 1 man. Ahhh…now I might see it. It is easier for Anon to disparage the entire US female population than it is to find the 1.01 per him in that group. Anon’s points of contention are intellect, hygiene, sense of entitlement and behavior towards men. I’m not going to defend or debate any of this or make any comparison; Let’s stick with numbers.

Anon’s blog has daily posts and has been up for about 4 months so this tells us he has not had contact with a female for at least that long. That might cause one to snap all by itself…but in this case I think not. Now we look at his alternatives. Anon has eliminated US women. Okay, there are 195 other countries to choose from and 3.3 BILLION women (minus the 80 million US women) to select from. 3.3 Billion! That’s a lot of choices! Given Anon’s blatant misogynistic rants…3.3 billion is a lot of rejection as well.

I am reminded of the story where one man told his best friend that he would not marry until he found the perfect woman. Years later he came back to his best friend and proclaimed, “I found the perfect woman, and asked her to marry me.” His friend said, “That’s great, when is the wedding?” The man replied, “Never! She said no because she was waiting for the perfect man.”

I want to end this diatribe with 2 observations:

1. I have made a very good living all of my adult life from the ability to understand and predict human behavior. To profile Anon I would say he is a single, 40 something, balding overweight second generation US citizen who lives in his mother’s basement and sits in the dark in his underpants at night trolling the internet for Anime porn.

2. I am a steadfast and unfaltering advocate of free speech! I did not and will not delete the comment because Anonymous…I believe you have the right of expression, and I appreciate your taking the time to describe in detail why you are a jackass…and you did a fine job.

In the end Mr. Anonymous -You couldn't get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance.

I’m just saying.
