Here’s the telling moment:
“Being women, we were politely out of earshot before we started laughing,”
I’m female, and I’d have laughed right there. Why is she such a wuss? I’m roughly her generation, and I’m not silenced by Guys Who Know Everything–even members of my family, who are older, better educated and sometimes clearly out their depth.
Solnit might be a victim of her nice manners, but it’s easy to work a lacerating remark into otherwise polite conversation. But then, she might get a rep as a bitch, and who knows where that could lead?
