Miss Marmelstein is a big girl, and is making comments on a controverted topic in a public forum. She's smart enough to know that not all will always agree with her. For my part, I respect her sufficiently to expect that she can read criticism and disagreement without melting away like some wretched "millennial" special snowflake.

Just so's you know.

You just wrote that I was wrong all the time, lol! Not exactly a sign of respect in ma livre. And I like a little gentlemanly interference on a thread that turns into a woman-hating screed. (That was NOT directed at you personally.)

Sorry but I am never going to stand by and see someone be personally attacked without saying something. My silence is acquiescence and I do not acquiescence.

I am more than capable of giving and taking heat and I know you and Miss Marmelstein are as well. But being able to be nasty without advancing the discussion is not one of the perks of FR.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
