Ah, sniping from the gallery. That is certain to help.

Well, I've just finished rereading the entire thread here, and I think I may have spoken too soon. Don't get me wrong, I am heartened by the responses of the women in this thread particularly. But upon rereading the thread, I also so Joe Offer's inserted comments. He said above:

"there were a number of crude and stupid threads started in the last day or two, and the shaving thread was one of them. I didn't consider deleting them, but I think they're better left unread. Still, crude and stupid people must have an outlet for self-expression..."

That's it? That is the extent of the "official" Mudcat response? So Joe, we are just supposed to shut up and take the abuse, so crude and stupid people can have an outlet for "self-expression"?

That hurts. What a slap in the face to the women who have expressed their opinions on this subject!
