What is a "sexist war"? And who wageth it ? You might say all wars are
sexist, women tending to be the innocent victims. But if you take my
bemused, somewhat ironic comment, as "sexist war" -- oh dear -- you may
have been living in a 19th century cave. A deep dark silent one.

Let us also note that if all the offtopic remarks that have gone by on
this "photograpy channel" in just the past week WITHOUT protest (many of
them equally adorable, and/or problematic) were added together, they would
be as Mount Everest to my itty bitty grain of sand.

So, although your "sexist" remark does deliver a message of sorts, it
might, by one so inclined, be called a "sexist" one. Tsk tsk.

Cheers,

Judy
