Anyone who would suggest that sexism isn't a thing, is so utterly divorced from reality that no response other than amusement is appropriate. I don't see the need to bare my soul and share personally painful experience to no purpose. I can even expect to be called a liar by implication. [quote=@mdk] your responses are... well not 'word for word' but [i]very similar[/i] to the noise from the media. Symone Sanders of CNN in particular. Apologies if I'm connecting dots that aren't connected -- it just all sounds rather familiar, that's all. [/quote]
