    you should have told her that you were very sorry and didn't intend to be condescending. Then explained to her slowly that condescending means talking down to people.

    Stood back and watch the fireworks
    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

      1) Chastised me for wearing one of those breast cancer daffodil badges that I bought off my gf's mother when she did a sponsored walk. "Men have no right to get involved. This is a wimmin's issue blah blah blah...."

      2) I got her name wrong then she went off on a big monologue on how getting her name wrong is the most insulting thing you can do to a woman. Bla blah blah.... she even wound up quoting Maya Angelou at me.

      3) I was accused of being a crypto fascist for expressing a penchant for west country villages with thatched cottages "Oh they're so hideously white, perhaps you like them because there are no black people in them blah blah blah"

      This was a woman 40 years old FFS! Not some petulant teen 6th former.

      Anyway, when I left I went for a leak and made sure I wiped my knob off on her hair before leaving. God

      should have threatened to slap her and then reminded her to get back in the kitchen...only to shout out "only joking!" and walked off

            Good grief, didn't she notice, or was she asleep by then or something?

              Cancer affects everybody including the families of those affected. If I where to wear a badge, as my mother/wife has suffered from breast cancer, has she got the right to question you support of a cause based on gender?

              So is this only insulting to woman? Why would it be more insulting if a man did it to a woman. Her views are clearly sexist.

              Of course in England, its woefully wrong to expect areas to have a majority of residents which fall into the tradtional ethnic demographic. Should we maybe do some Stalinesque forced removals of ethnic minorities to villages to satisfy her her ideal liberal demographic?

              Self serving liberal who is racist and sexist IMHO, of the worst kind, buy her a Margeret Atwood novel for Xmas.

                I go for 'seal clubber'. Then I usually say 'Oh F**k off'

                Life is too short to bother trying to converse with such people.

                  I have used "I'll stop you there . . . I've nothing to add, I just want you to shut up" to good effect.

                  Another one to ruffle the bra-burning militants feathers is "Sssshh! Men are are talking here".

                    THis sounds a lot like a sister of an aqaintance I met a couple of years ago - does she work for one of the main papers?

                    She decided she would question and pick an argument with everything I said. I got so pent up I ended up blurting out when she was moaning that she was single, that she struck me as a woman who liked to break men, and she would never be happy. That actually made her go quiet and I thought she was going to cry. Strangely enough she opened up to me after that and started saying how she thought I was probably right, and that's why she was so lonely.

                    TBH I really couldnt have given a sh!t at that time, but the psychology is certainly interesting, of these psycho losers!
