Are women so in need of male protection that we can’t take a remark that may (or may not) rip into our delicate sensibilities?

Please.

When judging Trump, I would suggest we all man up. Look at his record of hiring, and firing, females. I’ve not heard of him called out for underpaying, overworking, failing to promote or laying hands on women in his employ. ...

Don’t worry about women. We can take anything Trump dishes out.
