I never intended for this comment to get to this level of ugliness. It doesn't really matter now, but my intention with it was merely meant as a piece of advice rather than an attack on OP's persona.

I realize this is bordering towards something that might still be slightly taboo, but over the years online I have developed a slight allergy towards women (or others pretending to be women) who use the very fact that they are a woman as a leverage to get something rather than by merit. And hold on before you judge me. My comment came from the fact that OP might not want to come across as that type of person here or anywhere, in my eyes, or anyone elses. So it was a friendly advice.

But when all is said and done, this got way off topic + a bit nasty and for that I apologize.

I do not think you should apologize. I didn't think much before filling that section.

It would indeed hurt me if I come across as that type of women. So, thanks for the advice.
