I came across the following and I thought it may demonstrate how easy it is to misunderstand, so before taking offense let it go - it is probably just a case of the missing punctuation. :

An English Professor wrote on the blackboard the following words and asked his class to punctuate them for him.
"Woman without her man is nothing"
The men in the class wrote:
Woman, without her man, is nothing.
The women in the class wrote:
Woman ! Without her, man is nothing.
Punctuation or gender difference - forget the text - enjoy the Bridge
