Learning more about misogyny and becoming more aware of it is an important part of what's brought me to my current position on the issue. I believe I see something that you're probably blind to and discussing here isn't likely to change that.

Maybe you should ask your wife about it.
This has nothing to do with Zappa, but in general, my view is that misogyny, racism, etc. are attributed all over the place where it makes no sense to do so. My views about this have much more to do with my general philosophical views, especially my views about how meaning works, how interpretation works, etc.

So to reason this out for you, since I was saying something a la analysis, it made no sense to say that I wasn't being critical unless you had in mind that that would require a negative assessment.
