Good for you. Some of us feel that for a husband to NOT stand up for his
wife is a sign of worse personal defects than mere sexism. And for the
record, it was Brian who made the original, rather insulting aspersions
as to Natashas personal life. I would have been surprised quite a bit if
both had not become quite enraged as to such stupendous effrontery and
obliviousness.
Since Natasha is in no way little, based on the pictures I've seen of
her, saying "apologize to the little lady" would not be an accurate
statement to make, however she is a lady, and she does deserve an
apology.
