You're being a little too subtle for me. It sounds like I'm being rebuked
for omitting women from my questions and my term "gentleman" in my two
recent postings.
Except that all my questions did include women. And the term "gentleman" was
used because it appears in the original Victorian quotation I was paraphrasing.
You'll notice the second sentence is gender-neutral.
Please explicate.
