That's a genuinely interesting point. I also think - at the risk of sounding like a stalker who has spent far too long observing you and reactions to your work - that your status as an early twenty-something young woman also inexplicably attracts patronising nitwits. This greatly pisses me off, I don't mind telling you, as you are a highly intelligent individual backing your arguments with facts, often presenting them with great wit. In my not remotely humble opinion, people condescend you at their peril.
In short, I may not always agree with you (although I mostly do, so far, Umbridgegate notwithstanding), but you have definitely earned the respect of the Dillon Empire. :)
