I think you're reading too much into this - he was replying to two
other posts on the subject purely by adding information. The question
of "what do women think about the image filter? What about women in
different regions?" is of some relevance - it's useful to try to
understand both the ways in which men and women see this issue
differently, and the impact of cultural origins on views. Not sure why
he said "tactically" re Sarah, but he probably has a reason, and I
think Millosh is entitled to the benefit of doubt.
