I'm not sure why the sex of the ~~ancient~~ person who did it, matters.

Make that a common sentiment and a good chunk of the division surrounding modern discourse goes away. People care way too much about genitals both in the past and present.

Not only what your genitalia is, but what you do with it, seems to be a top priority for far too many people. They're not your genitals, so maybe don't worry about it?

But "God" or something. I don't know.

Not sure why you phrased that as correcting them when you were agreeing and adding to it.

I didn't take it as a correction. More of a clarification. I omitted some extraneous detail that they added. I felt it was implied well enough by context that it didn't need to be said, obviously they wanted to add more clarity to the statement.

In my mind the two statements are identical, except that mine relies on context and theirs is a bit more explicit in what is said.

I don't think that's phrased as a correction. It clearly wasn't as you noted

"clearly wasn't"

I see now, you just phrase things abruptly in a way that SEEMS rude but clearly isn't. My mistake. Have a nice day.

You figured out what it meant. That's clear enough for communication purposes imo. You're welcome to your own interpretation though
