What is the perfect way to respond to an insult/confrontation?

I sense you view this comment in a "sexist" kind of way.

No. Just biased as I said. Biased in a way that I don't see as very open-minded. But I will add that oftentimes we miss connecting in intent on a forum where we just type words. I think there is much background in a person's thoughts that don't get translated.

The main reason I called your post out is for the people who come here to read—not to criticize. I do feel some responsibility in what is available to read here, considering that there are people who come here seeking guidance. So I feel it is important to be clear and to uphold a certain standard of thinking.

I do have a "feeling" that you might have witnessed/understanding a lot of unfairness for women in this lifetime or been mistreated yourself, whichever the case, from the bottom of my heart, I feel you Dianna.

No need to feel badly for me. Though of course I have had to deal with the gender imbalances in our society, I had little problem with it really. I am of an entrepreneurial mindset, and so just deal with things as they come. I have been fortunate in this regard, as being in a workplace would be a whole different challenge.

Thank you for your considerate response, and taking my *reprimand* on the nose.
