    (for those readers that don't speak American/Canadian English, this is a word that only a woman would ever use to describe men)

    Err. Sorry John. I have a penis, and I have and do refer to some people as scumbags.

      I have one too, and I'd refer to John McAfee himself as a scumbag.

      true but combing over the rest of the manifesto where they declare men as cheating dirtbags and the tone of the article its not hard to play devils advocate and easily see this as a female employee.

      now to be extremely un pc idk why it wouldnt be apparent women wouldnt be as fit to be in a powerful position of a company that lets men cheat

        I was under the impression that men and women used that website to cheat..

          I though that, too, but Gizmodo is claiming that, of the 5.5 million female profiles,

          about 12,000 of the profiles out of millions belonged to actual, real women who were active users of Ashley Madison

          Pretty funny. Or maybe just sad.

            I saw that the website adultfriendfinder had similar statistics. It's interesting, do you think they let their members know? "Hey, most of the girls you meet on here are actually just scammers. The number of actual women on our site is really low."

      Scumbag is even gender neutral, anyone can be a scumbag.

      And it's not exclusive to American and Canadian English.
