Merely, I see it as as a curious quirk of indiosyncrasies for those that would employ it (whatca doing?), and the differing reactions of those that are subject to it as well (nuthin'-ranging-to-something-outlandlishy-complex).

2) Also, this is another thing that I'm not seeing. A total of two members' responses three responses (missed B_G's post) address the 'womanly angle' at all, and if I were allowed the opportunity to wager, I'd assume 1 1/2 of those responses were fueled in response to the manner in which the OP outlined his query and the general bias it includes to assume that a majority of women follow this rule.
1) I'm not implying that the subject is being purported as a major source of strife. Only wondering why it bothers some people so much that people might ask them what they're thinking.

2) Yes, the OP was framed that way and the OP continued to frame it that way although he went on further to moderate his statements a little.
