  Hi Barb. I was actually thinking just the opposite. It occurred to me =
that even I might interpret a man using the sh#$ word in a post to be =
inappropriate - maybe becuause I would assume he was trying to be crude. =
With a woman using the mild little s word - especially in the context =
that Maria did - I am more apt to think it is cute and colorful, and not =
meant to be crude, but rather to be a bit of an exclamation point =
(especially if it and other offensive-to-some words are not used =
repeatedly).

  It may be the men who are of the opinion that women should stick to =
housework, the kitchen, and raising babies who may well have a mindset =
consistent with your quote above.
