Sorry if you felt attacked by the term "lady". I'm not a native speaker and intended to express the gender by using the colloquial meaning of "lady". If you had preferred me writing "DoreenMichele is female" then so be it, I can completely accept that. I'm a bit less positive about you pulling this into being a gender issue overall. I corrected the previous poster's use of pronoun "he" when referring to you, and I did it in a "P.S." so it was not the main point of my post. If that's a problem and you'd rather like people calling you "he" stay uncorrected, so be it. But please don't insinuate anything about my thoughts about gender equality, or that correcting the use of "he" instead of "she" has anything to do with gender equality or virtue signaling, for that matter. I'm not sure where you feel I dogged you. I was presenting my view on what science is and is not. I did mention that you seem to think that you ought to get a nobel prize, and that this kind of statement tends to make me cautious, but both were merely a statement of fact. If you don't want anybody to quote you on that, don't say such things in the first place. And again, that has nothing to do with gender.
