Subject: RE: BS: Usage: -ess suffix for female operatives
No, of course I do not see women as inferior. That remark was uncalled for, and not one I will forget. I'll certainly remember it every tme I consider posting to a thread like this again. What arrogance!

Just to make myself clear, I see the kind of thinking that causes some to feel it's necessary or even appropriate to label a poet by gender as inferior.
