As a result of this whole fracas, I've snapped at someone who turned out to be a Real Published SF Author. >Eeeek!< I'm usually so mild-mannered ... there goes my reputation.
>sigh<
We seem to be conversing in a more civil fashion now, but I feel icky and sweaty. I loathe confrontations. And to me, that's a lot of what this is about - intellectual but socially tone-deaf guys who have decided that it's OK to force confrontations on women, knowing that most women would rather cave than make a scene.
(And BTW - don't touch the boobs. Mine or my daughter's. I hit hard ... .)
