You can poke fun of her ears if you want, but she deserves a great deal of respect.
I hadn't even thought of making fun of Sharon Blynn's ears! She is a very physically attractive human being, I feel: symmetrical, friendly looking, direct. Bald. And I greatly admire anyone who challenges assumptions and stereotypes about genders.

Heh heh. One can't go wrong with assonance! I was rather pleased with that turn of phrase myself, boo boo, though I sincerely doubt I'm the first to have thought of it.

Assonance. That sure is one word that doesn't sound a thing like what it really is!
