I often get comments and feedback from men.

This is amusing for me and my female friends.

The opinion of a man is akin to the barking of a dog.

A barking dog is typically a nuisance and perhaps warrants a sharp strike on the snout with a rolled newspaper, a kick,  or it may simply be ignored.

It doesn’t warrant conversation, justification.

And a lady would hardly accord a dog any parody of equality.
