I'm sorry. I almost didn't make it past the first paragraph. The beginning of the first paragraph really threw me off, but when I got to "... Founding Mothers who were, of course, XY chromosome women...." Really? At this point I was past confused. I did manage to read on a little bit to try and figure out if you were talking about REAL women and you did seem to be. So, I guess my problem was the degree in Biology. Men are XY. Women are XX. You were inadvertently alleging that the women who were heroines, to my understanding, were really cross dressing men.

I appreciate you bringing these women forward to be applauded for their brave acts! I'll try to not read the first paragraph again, because that cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.

No, MY deepest apologies. You proofread something and still details get past you. You caught the typo. I will reverse it immediately.

Thank-you for not being upset. My fat finger typos get past me, too. (Even when I proofread.) It truly was my anal retentiveness that couldn't get past it. I did read the whole article and it's a great one! Thank-you for posting it!

Thank you. I appreciate correction when it is necessary.

This was terrific, really impressed with your writing and glad to hear about these feisty sassy take no shit patriotic ladies told in a way to refute the feminist bullshit. Have you looked into Haym Solomon?

Thank you. I looked him up just now. Sorry to say I never heard of him. Definitely will expound on him at some time. Thanks.
