No, wasn't at all offended - just slightly annoyed by the one-sidedness of your reply. So thought that it would not be "disproportionate" to respond with a slightly snarky comment pointing out that boys also have it rough.
Taking everything personally and playing the victim card used to be a liberal trait.
"Playing the victim card?!" Re-read my original reply. I was being SNARKY.

It was not one sided.
That is what the book is about, girls being pressured into sexual mutilation because they are uncomfortable with puberty.
Take it up with the author that she is not giving equal time to boys despite the fact they do not seem to be the focus in this case. Not every problem hits everybody and everywhere equally.

And if that is what you need to believe.
But from this side it sounded exactly like that lunatic female who whined that saying "Hey Guys" to a mixed group was sexist or some such nonsense.
