"In the arguments he filed with the patent office and in court, he stated his opposition to any trademark for a group associated with the annual Dyke March, which he called "the Annual Illegal San Francisco Dyke Hate Riot." He said he and all men are subject to criminal attacks and civil right violations during the march, and that the word dyke is associated with a "deep obsessive hatred of men and the male gender." http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/07/13/BAGR7QVVIP1.DTL </p>
