Hi Lush. Heh. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] The quote you highlight is me purposely writing from the point of view OF those men at that time. Sorry for not making that clear. I write a lot of fiction and I guess I can fall into the habit of entering the personae of the characters I describe. A helpful trait, but clarity would have helped more this time. Your points are well taken and yes, I'm not that sexist (never tell someone you're not sexist or racist - they'll always be able to reveal the opposite in you in some way); at least, not on purpose. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] As to obtuse, well, I consider that to be a positive character trait. Don't you think?
