See, I did not read it as bad temper. And, my gay daughter and several of her friends - who are incredibly diverse gender and orientation wise - did not see it that way. This, of course, is totally normal. Just being a 'member' of any so-called group does not mean that one agrees with everyone else in said group.

ETA: daughter is 30, son is 27. He thinks her gender politics (though he is straight) are old fashioned. She and her soon to be wife are gobsmacked. I think we forget how fast all this is moving, praise the Goddess.

At any rate, none of them thought Joe's response to her baiting was nasty or angry. Mostly they thought the whole exchange was lame. And this is ok. Not everyone responds to a two minute thing in the same way. Well, except for some Repubs.
