It's not anger. It's a factual correction. Old bean.

I'm not angry. I'm a pedant.

My, now who's making the sweeping assumptions? Nice to know what you think of your fellow expats.

I haven't actually been hanging round "a lot of ex pat old men who have very young wives from other countries who follow instructions and never challenge them".

And again, you assume things about me when you say "I get why you think like that". You don't get it at all, because I am not in the situation you described. Do you often like to assume things on behalf of women as if they aren't capable of thinking and expressing opinions of their own?

And as for the hugs, well is your wife okay with you wandering round the internet and offering virtual hugs to other women?

Don't worry, I recognise it's a device intended to patronise.

Assume and patronise, that's your MO. Nice work for a supposedly enlightened man.
