There are worse, though lesser-known offenders. The douche who 'writes' Egotastic and has likely never met a real woman in the flesh, Drunken Stepfather (does that still exist?) and... the winner...
Nik Richie who blogs on The Dirty and became famous for driving drunk. He's not only a misogynist, he's pretty clearly racist and homophobic, too. He even has a dictionary explaining what his amazingly inventive lingo means. For example...
Crabby patty = p*ssy
Sugar Butt = a gay guy
Sorostitute = a girl in a sorority that is easier than a prostitute
Blanimal = a black animal
+2 Factor = when a chick gets a boob job it increases her value two points on a ten point scale
There's something to offend everyone! And yet... Jezebel has linked ot his site before.

I say just kick back and wait for nature to take its course, the man has been a walking train wreck since the day he bought his first Quickcam.

I remember a few years back when my friends little sister and her friends were over at my friends parents house and everyone was hanging out and the sis said something to her friend, which he didnt like and he slapped her. I of course flipped, specifically b/c they were all still in high school and it was beyond inappropriate and he looked at me and said "Relax, Im gay." Somehow in his head, he equated him being a homosexual allows him to virtually do whatever hetero males cant do. I have been in countless situations where my gay dude friends touched me, spoke to me and my friends in ways that would be arrest worthy if they weren't gay. Men being mean and harassing women is never cool.

(And I am saying this as someone with many gay male friends. And they've noticed it, too.)

And to tie it to women's issues, yeah, he's definitely misogynistic in his posts, but perhaps in his own twisted logic, he's like "look! I call myself fat and ugly too! So it's OK for me to say it about other people!" Because he does describe himself some very harsh terms. I think in some ways, he sees himself as relating to women, so therefore it's OK for him to trash on them.

Can we please stop linking to him now?

It's one thing to speak out against a man that makes a sexist statement and another to call out someone who may be a member of a minority group. In Letterman's case he's an old, white, hetero man but Perez is a young, latino, gay man. This has different power and privilege implications.
Sometimes in situations like that, it can be hard to speak out if you're coming from a privileged position i.e you're white or heterosexual. It could come across as though being conscending or unfairly picking on/singling out a person. Does this make sense to anyone?

Also, he doesn't even WRITE his posts anymore, he hired a team. He simply sticks to the "publicity" and twitter.
