hopefully get you to see that you pretty much called this woman stupid.

That was all. I thought it was a good article, and worth reading. You shat on it.

I was hoping you would see how it came across and maybe have a comment on the substance of the article, not the author. All that happened was a defense of yourself. A defense you didn't have to make. I wasn't implying you were misogyist sexist creep. Was hoping to get to the problems she points out. Not just some slam on how stupid the author was for not knowing this.
