			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://newcontrarian.com/files/0021.png" alt="geezer" />Via <a href="http://feministing.com/archives/007982.html">Feministing</a> (via <a href="http://matthewyglesias.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/10/tort_reform_time.php">Yglesias</a>): A 77 year old German <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,513579,00.html">sues</a> a 19 year old for not putting out after having been wined and dined. She said he was too old for her.</p>

<blockquote>&#8220;That was shattering. No woman has ever said that to me before,&#8221; Eden told the tabloid. &#8220;I was crushed.&#8221; He has filed charges with the prosecutors&#8217; office, he said. &#8220;After all, there are laws against discrimination.&#8221;</blockquote>

<p>Funny stuff. You&#8217;d think anyone would be able to enjoy in this lovely little bit of absurdity. But you&#8217;d be wrong. <a href="http://feministing.com/archives/007982.html">Feministing</a> comments:</p>

<blockquote>This guy sounds just awful. He once wrote, &#8220;I would like to die as I have lived &#8212; on a woman.&#8221;</blockquote>

<p>Double-ha!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m for women having equal rights and being treated respectfully (while preserving <a href="http://www.newcontrarian.com/?p=113">my rights to use the c-word</a> in fits of pique) as much as the next socially liberal guy. But seriously, my feminist friends, you don&#8217;t find this character at all funny? Not witty, not brilliant. Yes, in poor taste. But come <em>on</em>! Just look at him! This geezer&#8217;s pure gold!</p>
