Thank you, Mr. Sorsby, for helping me sort out what I was trying to say
and what it was I felt I was objecting to!  You made good points; I'll
remember them.  My error, I believe, was in the direction of my comments.
I'll try again.

I think what disturbed me about his article was that, although I am
/positive/ he never intended it this way, the phrasing of his attitude
came out sounding (sorry) condescending.  And just a bit as though he
saw women as objects, and not simply as other people.

I don't think this is his attitude at all.  But I just wanted to raise
consciousness of the way phrasing can affect interpretation, and
possibly injure feelings.  This /isn't/ an attack on Tom!
