35. "Politically incorrect as to women"?
Sun Sep 14, 2014, 08:48 AM

I'm curious why you even made that remark. It appears the opposition to the shop was made by a conservative religious group and it's not one, I suspect, that would be at all sympathetic to women's rights. If that was a swipe at feminists here it wasn't appreciated and I hope I misread your intent.
