The term "fascist" sums up the "liberals" quite well.

Liberals are... well... liberal.
Fascists are by definition authoritarian.
In what fucked-up bizarro world do you live in which those two things are the same?
Also, is this the same Bob as this one ? The logic is certainly similar...
The topic at hand is quite a false dichotomy (hmm what medical situation do millions of women have in their life that men don't? Hmm) but this is a gem:
"The education system is a hellish environment for masculine men who refuse to cower to feminazism. It's why I'll never attend university."
cant... breathe..
This gem from Bob is better: "I can't agree. Liberal governments have a long history of waging war against white men. Everyone has "rights" except white men. Liberal governments have been the backbone of anti-men feminism and anti-white racism for all my life."
White men don't have rights... yeesh. It must hurt to be that stupid.
@Niobe: LOL that's hilarious. I get the impression that there is a difference between what he says and what he actually means: "I couldn't make the grades needed for higher education and so I will make up for my feelings of inadequacy by belittling women and beating my chest."

Translation; bob couldn't get in. I wonder if Bob has the $2 for the Back-of-the-Matchbook College of mail order diploma.
Liberal: 1. favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs.
2. (often initial capital letter) noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform.
3. of, pertaining to, based on, or advocating liberalism.
4. favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, esp. as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.
5. favoring or permitting freedom of action, esp. with respect to matters of personal belief or expression: a liberal policy toward dissident artists and writers.
fascism: 1. (sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
2. (sometimes initial capital letter) the philosophy, principles, or methods of fascism.
3. (initial capital letter) a fascist movement, esp. the one established by Mussolini in Italy 192243.
According to dictionary.com
Liberal:
2. (often initial capital letter) noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform.
Fascist:
: 3. a person who is dictatorial or has extreme right-wing views.
There is a clear difference between progressive and dictatorial. One isn't a jerk.

While I agree that that website is full of douchebags, I fail to see your point. Yes, there are medical conditions that millions of women have in their life that men don't, but there are also millions of men with medical conditions women don't have. That's what happens when you compare diseases between patients with different organs.
Somehow that makes it okay to have more money spent on women's health?

A lot of the gap is in breast cancer -- women advocated, raised awareness, did a huge amount of fundraising and activism (needed in part because medical research was, and still is, focused on males as the default ). Now men whine about being entitled to the benefits of other people's work.
The 1:8 ratio is also based on misreadings of the data -- while relatively little is spent on diseases exclusively suffered by men (which, no, are not as widespread or common as those suffered solely by women), mainstream medical research (WRT ordinary , non-sex-specific diseases) still tends to treat men as the standard and women as a secondary subject set.
Opposites' day again? Ok: The term freedom sums up the prisons quite well.
Men are considered the norm, women the deviation, the minority. Most money are probably spent on "human health", which mostly focuses on men (like with hearth attacks, which have more diffuse symptoms in women, so more women die as they don't recognize the standard "pain in the chest radiating out in one arm", that "everybody" knows).
Then there are some specific health issues that are "gender biased", and women have a larger amount of gender-specific organs, I think (at least volume-wise). Plus women often live longer than men, and subsequently need health care longer, too.
Professor M: "Now men whine about being entitled to the benefits of other people's work."
That's Standard Operating Procedure for males. I've never met a male who would lift a finger if there was a woman around to browbeat into doing his work for him (and letting him take the credit). Bob here's just pissed because no woman will earn his degree for him.

...in your little one-dimensional world, sure.
