I have no idea what in the hell brought on that off-the-wall
remark but I sincerely hope you get over it. You have only
presented a lot of opinion and interpretation, much of it odious
. Don't be surprised if some of us take offense. What the heck
that has with forcing other's to pay for one's babies (as if one
could produce one alone to start with) I have no idea.

That was bad and useless enough but you have done considerably
more than that. The rebuke was mild but to the point imho.

Huh? You have to be joking. Much less than any such percentage
are in positions of power even today. So how exactly is it
"women's rule"? Do you think women determined what candidates
were even offered to any majority extent? Do you think the true
power in this country is even subject to election?

OK. I am through responding to you. Please peddle it elsewhere.
I have better things to do.
