Hi Pia,
My point exactly, thank you. A little discrimination is not always a
bad thing. Until there are real consequences for jerk behavior the jerks
will have no incentive to change. The ladies can solve this with a measure
of genteel civility whereas if other men try to protect them there will
only be ugly confrontations. So ladies, unless you enjoy suffering, just
say no! Ciao.................
