In a perfect world, I would be the first to agree with you, Bruce.  But 
I'm old enough to remember WWII and the McCarthy era ("Good night, and 
good luck" should be a must see!).  I'm also a woman.  I know you didn't 
mean your remarks to be sexist, but from my perspective they could be 
taken that way since I know you are a very tall, white male with a 
professional degree after your name.  In other words, you and your sort 
do still pretty much own the world.  And, being from the generation I 
am, and the upbringing I had, I see attitudes like yours as what led to 
Hitler's rise to power.
I don't feel I'm "taking offense" so much as pointing out what I see as 
inappropriate and standing up for my right to be recognized and valued. 
I'm just doing my "fruitful hard work."
May the new year see less need for fruitful hard work as mine!
