Kaitlyn Andrews-Rice's column about her dislike of a masculine TV channel was annoying and overblown ("Television creates perplexing gender factions that unfairly dictate society," Feb. 6). Yes, there are differences in being male and female, and Spike TV has the right to portray its version of maleness. Where would diversity be if we all had to be the same, female or metrosexual? I, for one, am glad that Spike TV has the guts to make a stand as one version of being manly; men have been insulted and spit on for far too long.

And yes, actually, Lifetime television has been the female sexist television network since its inception. Andrews-Rice criticizes the beer-drinking, car-loving, supermodel-worshipping side of men. Well guess what -- that's what distinguishes them from the gossiping, shopping, shoe-loving women. Men deserve their own space and freedom to like what they like and do as they please.

Lastly, Andrews-Rice states that she thinks men should be able to stand on their own. Men have been doing just that for centuries, until the feminists got fed up with not having a part in the action. Enough with the male bashing already. After all, who's going to fix your car in time for you to get home to Sex and the City if all the men were out shopping for window accessories?
