I hope that this was quite a bit down the list, after 'some men are pigs', and 'smiling is obligatory'. Member of the Anti-Fabulousness League since 1987.
Most women in the UK seem to be of the "all men are bastards" opinion. I've actually had rather terse conversations where my willingness to defend males has been taken as a sign that I'm still not a real woman.
Smiling isn't obligatory, but people are nicer to women so smiling is easier. keep to the Fen Causeway
It would depend on the individual actions and character of a man as to whether I would defend him, but I think it unacceptable to abuse whoever chose to do so. The women who insulted you were out of line, and you ought to have come back by asking why the hell they thought they were women? Their answer would have probably been nothing more than some essentialist or constructionist diatribe. Member of the Anti-Fabulousness League since 1987.

It has long been my argument that essentialism displaced feminism in the UK over 30 years ago. The difference between the "feminist" debates in the UK compared to say France or the US is a generational chasm. keep to the Fen Causeway
I'm personally not of the opinion that all men are bastards. Some men are really quite beautiful and wonderful people.
