He should tell the girls on his team and their parents where girls belong in his opinion. in short, be a MAN!

I probably could have worded a number of things better after my first couple posts, which were from the heart, versus later posts where frankly I was just arguing on the internet with someone I disagreed with. Someone noted it in a PM, and I agree, and I went ahead and removed a few posts where I was more focused on dissecting someone else's opinion than sharing my own and contributing positively to a discussion.
To your point though Ed, it did read as I was endorsing the use of anon accounts to speak opinions that are unpopular. My intent was more of "I understand" and "please everyone be mindful of what you post, especially if it is (or could be construed as) sexist/racist/homophobic/etc... that might bite you in the future". I can understand some of the uses of anon accounts, but this would not be one of them, and I wouldn't want to come across as endorsing them.
