Did you edit this after initial posting, or am I drunk again?
In the moment, you respond as best you can with the information and time available.
And maybe next time her best will more accurately assess the situation, and she’ll respond more charitably.
No evidence that the first woman took offense. The first fellow says he didn’t mean anything by it. And Submitter C wishes she had responded more charitably. Looks like you’re the last holdout.
Well, it wouldn’t be. That is the problem.
And this problem is your wall of bricks?
Generalizations about women are bricks in the wall for which women should take a stand. She is entitled to react disproportionately to the immediate brick, because it is a part of a larger wall.
How many decades of such entitlement for women does a man need to live through until he is similarly entitled to disproportionate response to the bricks in his wall? For all my conscious life, and I’m pushing 50, entitling women to denigrate men has been standard operating procedure throughout mainstream media. It’s not just entitlement, it’s self righteous approval and condemnation of any man who objects. When a woman condemns you, you’ll take it and like it!
I don’t claim the right to disproportionate response. But I’m not going to cower meekly when it is tried on me. That’s where I make my stand.
Often it’s only when I see the posting that I realise I want to change something.
Same with me. For some reason my eyeballs don’t see the issue until I’ve submitted it. I think some of it is being able to see a bigger chunk of text at once. I wish we could make the editing window bigger.
How? Here I am editing in chrome, I go to the edges to tray and get a draggy thing, and I don’t get one. I can resize the screen, but that doesn’t give me more line like to work with. The box expands and shrinks in sync with the text.

Upgrade to a Mac? :-) There’s a draggy thing at the bottom right corner of the comment editing pane for me, put there by the browser, not the web page—it’s on editing panes in any web page. Safari at least has done this for years.

Yes, within a few minutes of posting it, but not since. Often it’s only when I see the posting that I realise I want to change something.
Well, do that. I don’t see a problem.

Safari, Firefox, and Chrome all let you resize any multi-line editing box.
