Hay, come on guys, there's no reason for being sexist
about this.  I'm a guy (just ask my kids) and this is just
the sort of thing I'd do.  I'm also old and have a bad
heart so I tend to be very careful about such things.

And I don't think any sex, race, age, religion, etc, has
a monopoly on "changing your mind"

I guess you can just call me a grumpy old fart today
but I don't think this sort of name calling of half the
population is called for.
