74. Michelle Villalobos Check out the email i just got!! Ay
yay yay... "Michelle:I think you are extremely feminist.
That's not right. You have to be " Equal ". Men and
Women are the same. But with women like you, we will
only see broken families and divorced couples
because of your absurd feminism, there is no men who
are going to stand women like you.I am one of
them.Sincerely;Luis Lopez."
