Hmm. The issue isn't really sensitivity, it's accuracy.

You said "women don't fight fair." I think that's inaccurate, which is why I was angry at you, especially because you claim to be a feminist. X said, "Guns don't kill people, MEN kill people (with a few exceptions). Is that accurate?

Don't you remember the last time we debated the relative propensities of the sexes for committing murder, it turned out that women were less likely than you thought, but more likely than she thought?

I think her statement is accurate, but hyperbolic and inflammatory. But I'd love to have a bumper sticker that says it.
