Michael may think that Silvia's point was well made, but it doesn't alter the fact that the intention was not to send to the whole list. Perhaps it's good that we should be allowed to come out from under our stones from time to time, just to let people know that, whatever the bien-pensantes may think, folk still have their opinions, and their right to them. As to Micheal thinking my message 'offensive', I have to wonder whence he cometh.
I could also wonder about the 'generational thing'. Is this not ageism? I assume he's older than me, so I shan't respond in kind for fear of provoking some kind of fatal attack. But it's interesting, is it not, that someone should come out, as it were, in defence of feminism, and, in the same message, assume that it's a 'generational thing'. It's the same kind of so-called discrimination, surely?
Happy Reis to all,
Mackenzie

Point well taken, Silvia. I also found it offensive. I'm sure David meant no
insult, though, just a generational thing, I'd guess, or hope.
