Just for the sake of civility, how about we adopt a moratorium for a year
or so on cheap gibes like `feminazi', `hoplonazi' and other playground
terms of abuse?

Amazing morphological news: boys *are* girls with testicles.
Presumably Mike meant `act like boys *without* testicles'. As I dimly
recall my own ancient schooldays, boys who did well at mathematics and
science were mocked by other, usually more swaggering, boys as sissies,
fairies, ball-less wonders, and so on. Certainly, advanced skill at
mathematics--or learning of any kind outside of fixing cars--was not seen
as evidence of testicles.
