>>For the record, I wasn't the first person to raise the topic of "treatment of women"...
So you agree it's entrenched?
>>And on the "it could be taken".....sadly we live in a world where many believe that if they feel "offended", that therefore the feeling is auto-validated.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Not even we men get to decree whether those others are allowed to be offended by our behavior.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
