Women? That's plural. Was there more than one woman? Did they all have stinky feet?

Ah but this is more interesting than it looks. Your reasoning only applies by the curious quirk that is "to belong" cannot be expressed in the passive voice, and therefore "belonged" cannot be a passive past participle.

However, it sounds rather quaint, like a deliberately poor translation, or one that might be used for effect in a fantasy novel.
This aeroplane is belonged to a woman.

You've never used a phrase to pre-position yourself to proposition?

Possibly, but it's not at all relevant.

I just assumed that the person who made the snark didn't have English as a first language.

My feet smell like freshly baked cookies compared to some of the women's feet I've experienced. My feet aren't huge (as if size matters...), and I think they look just fine. If all women had pedicured and de-sented feet, maybe I could accept your position.

This.

Indeed a generalization and intended as such. To a large extent the odor problem comes from wearing shoes without socks and then kicking off the shoes in public because the feet are hot and sweaty and hurting. Women do that more than men so I am not surprised you've come across some stinkies. People should think ahead and wear socks or bring socks if they want to take their shoes off. But really, what people do if they keep their feet in their own foot space isn't anybody else's business anyway.

Take a look at your feet....(By the way - If you can't see them and have no idea how they look - keep them hidden from us as well - they are probably not aesthetically pleasing).

If you can and there fungus under your nails or a bunion the size of a toe - for the love of god wear shoes!!!!!!
