I submit that regardless of whether we call it bullshit or cowshit this remains
unadulterated crap. When wom-n are routinely hanged from lampposts or shipped
to gas chambers and crematoria because of their gender, your exaggerated
statement might have some credence.

In the meantime, may I point out that like it or not we all remain members of
the genus <Homo.> Perhaps you or one of your cohorts should address this
taxonomic misogyny by petitioning the International Commission on Zoological
Nomenclature.
