Well, his first or second post was reasonable - although muddle-headed - but taking a shot at the woman for being “emotional” was below the belt. A lot of guys here these days are racheting up the misogyny and it’s VERY ill-placed. So for me, it was hot.

“taking a shot at the woman for being “emotional” “

I hope you know that med schools taught—and for a very long time—the concept of the hysterical female as usual and cause to dismiss female concerns of any kind, including offering a diagnosis of something being “all in your head.” My grandmother and another relative went through this—Grandmother ending up with and dying of cancer, and the relative ending up with major surgery for an unusual physical condition.

The condescension toward women was a standard element, and very tiresome.
