"::::::::::::::There is nothing in Eric's response that indicates he has taken offense, and there is nothing hysterical (although there was no need to mention anatomical features). Re talking down: if it's not that, it's just misguided to characterize taking the article on an important author to FA as ""important to you"" as if Eric chose the article randomly and might have picked Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. What ""contradictory statement""? Rather than poking Eric it would be better to identify some content that is missing due to a gender gap.
