> 1) Are not the author. You have no idea what the author had in mind when he wrote those. No more or less than you. > 2) BUT, you are accusing the author of sexism by presuming a sexist version of the event by YOURSELF and accusing the author for it, despite the author CLEARLY letting you know he didn't intend it to become so. I am not presuming a version of the event, I am describing what expression the text makes when paying attention to gender. Texts can make an impression not intended by the author. And no, that doesn't mean the person who gets that impression is "manipulating" the text. There is absolutely no need to presume malice for anyone here, as you seem intent to do. > 3) Are manipulating statements purposely No, I am not.

You're building a pretty big strawman there. > I honestly hope that someday I can just sit next to a 'person' without being conscious of their gender..and that day is when this world will be a much happier place to live in, I agree completely, but that is not the world we live in, and acting like it were is not necessarily productive. > with trolls like you left aloof. This could be a rational discussion if you could kindly refrain from resorting to insults.
