/// if you're going to start picking the bones over that aog don't start cos i don't accept criticism when it's an inherant belief stemming from my upbringing that I can't change nor would want to. ///
I am not picking bones as you so aggressively put, and I am sorry that you don't accept criticism, you have chosen to come on this thread so you must be prepared to accept criticism, I and all other ABers have to be prepared to, why should you be any different?
To get back on course, yes I was also brought up to respect females and I still do, but thanks to 'Women's Lib' and 'Sex equality' one has to be so careful, these days.
Just try saying women should not be in that kind of job, because it is far too dangerous for them, or try holding a door open for some females these days.
I am not saying that sex equality isn't a good thing in some ways, but by the very fact of the physical differences etc etc, in some things the sexes can never be truly equal.
I apologise Ric.ror for going off track at such a very sad time, but I just had to address dotty's curt reply to what was after all a genuine question based on her statement.

A couple of days ago, there was a headline in one of the papers which read:
Kate photographer was FEMALE paparazzi, who hid by roadside
Notice the word 'female' was in block capitals, as if the most shocking aspect of the story was the sex of the photographer...
Personally the sex of the two officers in this murder doesn't influence my feelings on the story, but I understand how people can view it differently because we still have lingering feelings of 'paternalistic protection' for women.
I know I consciously avoid using coarse language when I'm in mixed company. Default position which is a product of the way I was brought up, rather than a conscious thing...

I think you are trying to read a little more into it than is intended.
Perhaps the word female was put in upper-case letters obviously to highlight the fact that the photographer was female, but at the same time point out, what could make one female degrade another female by taking partially nude shots of her?
