“Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.” — Joseph Conrad
(On any other day, I would find this quote quite humorous. It’s a little dig at men, and it was coined by a man. But, to use it as a quote, on Father’s Day, I find this to be exceedingly insensitive and insulting! I’ve never had a problem with Rebecca Kornbluh’s feminist bent, and I understand people carrying emotional baggage, but this is beyond the pale. She should be ashamed of herself! And, she should apologize to her readers. Just who the Hell does she think she is?!
For all the people out there who enjoy doing the Cryptoquote, and love/d their fathers, or love being fathers, I would like to apologize for today’s selection. It takes quite a lot to offend yer Uncle Rave, but she surely succeeded at offending me. Better luck next near! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Apparently, this quote came from some disgruntled female and is totally out-of-bounds for Fathers’ Day.
I could have some choice words about this, but since it’s your blog I won’t want let my language spoil it.
This person, whoever she is, obviously is in need of counseling !
I hope you had a good Father’s Day in spite of this insult.
I did, pal. It takes an awful lot to offend me, but my temper is fast to rise, but just as quickly to subside, lwc. — YUR
