Nor is it clear that you disagree with the ridiculous sexism on the part of neanderthal colleagues who can't see past your breasts. The language is almost apologist, and that irked me rather.

However, I see we had crossed wires and are probably actually on the same page.
I think you're being a little harsh on scorpiosis37, and instead of sympathizing with her challenges she faces, you seem to be judging her for feeling the way she does, even now after she has explained herself. I did not read her original comment as telling other women what they should or should not do, but you seem to have taken it personally and as a result, reacting judgmentally as if she had attacked your views of yourself or women.
Thanks for this!
