TBH - My female friends all had no problems bashing guys around me. TBH - I sure could not disagree or put up much of a defense in most cases. At best offer some insight into the male mind. (At least the best I came to understand not really playing with a full (male) deck myself )
Working in electronics manufacturing, the majority of the work force is female, out on the floor. Even at work, women tend not to be apologetic about complaining about their b/f's or husbands. Or even some jerk-wad guys in general.
If it walks like a duck, and quakes like a duck.....
