I suggest that we all read this latest posting of Mark's very
carefully. 

I felt a very strong reaction, in terms of attitude toward the
person being discussed, through the use of the feminine pronoun. 
And, it wasn't the one I would have expected, given all the
accusations of man-hater that are thrown at me here.

Well done, Mark. I got a jolt, which is, I think, what you hoped to
accomplish. 

Sexism is sometimes a very subtle and insidious phenomenon.
