Clara,

I think context can make a huge difference in issues like this. If it was a random stranger who was criticizing one gender or the other, I would proceed with caution. I typically prefer to avoid mud slinging contests. However, knowing Kari from both public and private communications, I recognized her thread had no malicious intentions. I see her thread as an attempt to make light of a difficult predicament she's in, rather than as a criticism of the male gender. That's why I was dumbstruck by your misandrist accusation. She never said anything to the tone of men being stupid, brutal or evil. Her thread was a question of inquiry in my view, not antagonizing the male gender.
