liberalism/feminism...

This woman took it as an insult that the General recognized her gender with the honorific “Ma’am” instead of the gender “neutral” title of “Senator”.

Feminist/liberals inherently have a “gender inferiority” complex.

You are exactly right. If you delve in to feminism/liberalism you will began to see traits of a mental disorder bubble to the top.

I’m just going to call everybody “Senator” to be on the safe side...sort of like “comrade”. Barb has the title entitlement I guess.

You know, I don't think she took it as an insult at all - I believe she took it as an opportunity to deliberately and publically denigrate the General into “bending” or “bowing” to HER wishes. She knew exactly what she was doing, moron or not. These people are experienced at mind games and public shows of “power” - especially when it comes to humiliating people who DO have real power.

Had that been me? I'd have ignored her and continued using “Ma'am” - or made it a POINT to specifically address all the men in the room as “Sir” and her as - nothing - ...no “Senator”, “Ma'am”, “Miss” - no appellation whatsoever.

Really, really tired of their stupid little power games... You don't talk down to a warrior who's spent most of his adult life DEFENDING the values which she sh*ts on every day of her useless existence.

A fine testament to the General, his patience, and his professionalism. He is a true credit to the professional Officer corps of this country. He's a better man than I am for dealing with that snotty commie witch so gracefully...

Would this general have been equally mad at a major who forgot to address him as "sir"?

Just asking, because ego runs rampant.
