Re: [Gendergap] address the source of anger

You're right. All over the internet is the surplus males that can't get girlfirends. The so-called "One child policy" just exacerbrates the situation in China. So yeah, people do use the internet for the purposes of blowing off steam and other uses.--Eat me, I'm an azuki At 2015-10-06 23:08:51,
