How NOT to dispel the notion that you're a misogynistic asshole.

From Bret Easton Ellis' interview with Details:
Q:
When American Psycho was published, some of the attacks from feminists were so vitriolic. Did that bother you?

A:
Women are crazy! So no, it i didn't. I grew up with two sisters and my mom. I saw first-hand how emotionally unstable women can be. To a degree I do believe that the book is feminist in nature. I think it's a book that is criticizing certain male values and behavior. So the feminist response was just - you know, it was retarded.
