Reading that NYT article about women’s speech: I had a *marriage therapist* get her panties in a wad over the fact that I am direct. She literally said that it made her uncomfortable that I am a woman and “direct.” Not mean, not nasty, not snappish; direct. She spent half of our time policing my language, except the times when I would say, “Well, how else would you describe this?”, and then she would stop chastising me.
