Offended by email

The Boy has this older friend, who's awfully smart, as evidenced by his high falutin phd, but who's a chauvinistic prick.
We have friends coming in this weekend and this mass cced email was sent out by highfalutin about our plans for tonight:

3.the ladies drive to my apartment.
4.ladies can have their share of gossip sipping fruit juice while the
guys can catch up with old times with daru and sutta 

I cringe that the boy has a friend who thinks nothing of using gender separated language and these stereotypic gender associated activities - "sipping fruit juice?"

I am not much of a drinker but this makes me want to go and guzzle down a gallon of sangria or Scotch or even some good ol 'daru'??!!!??

I want badly to dash off a reply full of sarcastic chastisement or even sent him my copy of The Feminine Mystique but previous experiences of doing so have taught me it is of no avail.

The longer that email is open before me, the more offended I am that he would relegate me to a generic, stereotypic persona of 'ladies who gossip while sipping on fruit juices'.
And the more i smart.
I am tired of these hackneyed phrases and I pray that the Good Lord will introduce people into our lives, with whom I do not have to mentally spar to ensure that I, or my gender, am treated as the unique individuals that we are and not some banal fantasies of any man's oversized ego.

I am tired of dealing with the subtleties of being told over and over, that that we may not laugh too loud, or talk too much, or dress too boldly, or play when the proper girls have all gone home,

As a woman from an evolving culture, it is hard for me to shrug off completely the conservatism of my traditions. And at times, I see the wisdom in pretending to ensure a parent is not offended. I may choose to sip juice, I may choose to wear a salwar, I may even choose to scream out when I should chuckle softly.
But as always, I choose that moment.
It is I who choose when to sip juice, when to gossip, when to engage in activities that are deemed feminine, when to engaged in activities that may be deemed not, when to stand up, when to fight, when to move forward, when to do or not do all the million things I wish/want/will do.
