This is the problem though. You say it's common courtesy... but to me it isn't. To me, it's a concession on a topic that I think is very important and has significant negative impacts for female humans.I'd say climb down from the high horse and show some common courtesy, but I know that won't work.
It would be a pleasant change of pace if any of you actually considered the ramifications to females of the larger topic - of which this is the thinnest edge of the wedge.
You can try to pretend that it has nothing to do with that, but you know and I know and we ALL know that's not the case.
