I only hope I can ascend to this level of tact with all upcoming Apache SpamAssassin missives.

 Letter: Wonder Woman

On May 26, 2017, the Mayor received this email:

   I hope every man will boycott Austin and do what he can to diminish
   Austin and to cause damage to the city’s image. The theater that
   pandered to the sexism typical of women will, I hope, regret it’s
   decision. The notion of a woman hero is a fine example of women’s
   eagerness to accept the appearance of achievement without actual
   achievement. Women learn from an early age to value make-up, that
   it’s OK to pretend that you are greater than you actually are. Women
   pretend they do not know that only men serve in combat because they
   are content to have an easier ride. Women gladly accept gold medals
   at the Olympics for coming in 10th and competing only against the
   second class of athletes. Name something invented by a woman!
   Achievements by the second rate gender pale in comparison to
   virtually everything great in human history was accomplished by men,
   not women. If Austin does not host a men only counter event, I will
   never visit Austin and will welcome it’s deteriorati on. And I will
   not forget that Austin is best known for Charles Whitman. Does
   Austin stand for gender equality or for kissing up to women? Don’t
   bother to respond. I already know the answer. I do not hate women. I
   hate their rampant hypocrisy and the hypocrisy of the “women’s
   movement.” Women do not want gender equality; they want more for
   women. Don’t bother to respond because I am sure your cowardice will
   generate nothing worth reading.

Today he responded:

   Dear Mr. Ameduri,

   I am writing to alert you that your email account has been hacked by
   an unfortunate and unusually hostile individual. Please remedy your
   account’s security right away, lest this person’s uninformed and
   sexist rantings give you a bad name. After all, we men have to look
   out for each other!

   Can you imagine if someone thought that you didn’t know women could
   serve in our combat units now without exclusion? What if someone
   thought you didn’t know that women invented medical syringes, life
   rafts, fire escapes, central and solar heating, a war-time
   communications system for radio-controlling torpedoes that laid the
   technological foundations for everything from Wi-Fi to GPS, and
   beer? And I hesitate to imagine how embarrassed you’d be if someone
   thought you were upset that a private business was realizing a
   business opportunity by reserving one screening this weekend for
   women to see a superhero movie.

   You and I are serious men of substance with little time for the
   delicate sensitivities displayed by the pitiful creature who
   maligned your good name and sterling character by writing that
   abysmal email.  I trust the news that your email account has been
   hacked does not cause you undue alarm and wish you well in securing
   your account. And in the future, should your travels take you to
   Austin, please know that everyone is welcome here, even people like
   those who wrote that email whose views are an embarrassment to
   modernity, decency, and common sense.

   Yours sincerely,

   Steve Adler
