I didn’t see the gender comment as a generalization. And I certainly wasn’t trying put women down. If my comment appeared misogynistic, I apologize for misrepresenting myself.
That being said, the reason for the comment was to try to help PS understand something. If a person is supported uncritically despite the error of her ways, it helps to understand why that support is there. If PS is thinking to herself, “I can’t be wrong, I get so much support from hs, lost kitty, PD, lindismith, et. al,” then she needs to understand that perhaps the reason she’s getting that support isn’t necessarily that she’s wise or brilliant. It may be because those other women are supporting her because that’s what people of like kind do, and have done since the beginnging of humankind (now that’s a generalization).
I wouldn’t bring gender into this topic unless I thought it was relevant. And if you consider this a “business” forum, and the only comment you have is the inappropriateness of my bringing gender into it, then you’re either not reading it very closely, or there’s some other reason you’re complaining about me bringing gender into it and you’re not complaining about PS calling people “arrogant assholes.”
If you had time to read all the posts on this forum (or if you already have), it is undeniable that most of PS’s support comes from women. So, I’m not making a generalization; I’m stating a fact.
PS was good enough to read my post, and get right back to the subject of real estate. I should’ve followed her lead and done the same thing.
