[Mrs. Don-o]

By the way, I do not think we should insult these individuals because they are old, gray-haired, and dumpy. I myself am old, grayhaired, and dumpy.

It is enough to expose them --- by quoting their own words --- as purveyors of injustice and violence, religious charlatans, and frauds.

I don't think it is an insult to call them bitter, they obviously are.

I, as a Catholic woman, have found myself totally liberated in my faith and rejoice that I have daughters who will be raised with the freedom and dignity that the Catholic tradition has always granted women.

I, one day, will be grayhaired. Judging from past pregnancys, I'll be dumpy before then. But I won't be bitter.

I think it is more a comment on their inner ugliness - something I'm sure you don't share! Probably few of us here look like nubile sylphs, alas, but they were distinguished by that grim look of liberal self-righteousness and festering resentment that could make them look nasty even if they were nubile sylphs!
