I would like to, as warmly as possible, point out the blind spot in your response. Why is the gender&#x2F;sex of the person asking important? I think your response would be better as &quot;would this be the answer you give to a 12 year old ... Or a single parent ... or one of your own parents?&quot; Your response appears to insinuate that females are more delicate than males and unable to handle abrasiveness. That is all.
