Guest post by "QuintonW" I actually changed my mind twice times about that line. First I thought it was rude of him, which was odd since I thought they were getting along better. Then I thought that it wasn't rude - just a jest in response to her calling him dog-boy, he calls her human-woman. Then I remembered how sexist he was, how he thinks women are too frail to go on adventures or rescue missions without a male to back them up, and that calling her a man-woman actually shows that he has respect for her fighting abilities.
