Yes, I know Hemingway was sexist, in what he wrote and just about everything he did. I have a tendency to consider the era that people are from and filter their meaning through that lens. Doesn't mean I always give them a pass.

I'm currently reading a biography of Dorothy Kilgallen (http://www.amazon.com/Kilgallen-Lee-Israel/dp/0440145651/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209489435&sr=8-1) and have to keep reminding myself that she was a product of her times and upbringing when admiring her accomplishments and life style.

For me the emphasis was on the "Thinking" part of the statement. There is a long story that causes this to be a sticking point for me. I'll spare everyone that.
