I’m not sure which is more bitter, the original article or its response. If you’re going to disagree with someone, actually address the points he makes. Attacking him personally is petty and isn’t conducive to real discussion. Peter's feelings aren't necessarily without merit--why not discuss them?

From Shih's post on Medium.

"5. 49ers No, not the football team, they’re great. I’m referring to all the girls who are obviously 4's and behave like they are 9's. Just because San Francisco has the worst Female to Male ratio in the known universe doesn’t give you the right to be a bitch all the time"

What kind of real discussion can there be about sexist douchebaggery such as this?

Again, I’m not agreeing with the sexist commentary (or necessarily any of it for that matter). The response is equally unproductive though.

I'm pretty sure Peter's feelings about women are entirely without merit. His feelings about public transit and the legally-mandated bar-closing hours, fine. But when he's actually just saying sexist, homophobic things and getting mad at homeless people for being homeless, that's not a real discussion.

...worst Female to Male ratio in the known universe...

I guess he hasn't been to Alaska or North Dakota. Anyone having this experience in a major city needs to find new places to hang out. They do exist, but you might not see all your existing friends there.

Can anything productive result from a response? Should critics of his account for the entirety of the massive issues he decries? I mean, there's not much to say about the 49ers thing besides to infer that he's having trouble finding dates. What to say about his attitude toward the homeless that doesn't involve recounting the history of the government throwing the mentally ill out on the streets or in jail? OK, so that's about 5,000 words right there. The weather? Please.

Calling a bunch of women who may very well be bitches doesn't really phase me, it's the tolerance of said bitchiness when sex appeal comes into account that I find disgusting.

If you care about your values and standards for behavior they should apply globally, regardless of gender, race or physical appearance.
