Yeah, he apologized, that's nice. It was before my post, however. I might have toned down my initial reaction to it, or I might not have, since at this point the diary has transcended Kos's individual remarks and incorporates many voices eagerly agreeing with his original post. Now that so much ample (oooh sexy) evidence has been posted to uphold the assertion that this place is hostile to women, I've not changed my opinion. You certainly haven't changed it.
And BTW you are the one who has some nerve. Are you female? I didn't think so. What you know about a woman's experience on this board or in the world amounts to nil.

You made a sweeping false generalization about the site.
It was bullshit.
The comment from kos and some idiots on this thread gives you the evidence you need? Un- fucking believable.
Finally, I will respond to your second response now. You state that I personally give you no evidence to counter your impression.
Is that because I criticized YOU, and you are a woman? that's a dangerous game you know.

When I say you don't know what it is like to be a woman, the point is it can't be expected for men to know how it is for women, any more than women can know what men's experience is like.
And this is precisely why listening, instead of ridiculing, women's accounts of their own experience is appreciated. And nobody is even saying you must agree, but we deserve more than the snide, even celebratory tone of the posts here, dismissively cackling at something that can be an important issue for many women.
It sure let's us know that we don't count.
And anyway who decides if the place is friendly to women. You?
Why are you feeling so personally attacked anyway? If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it.
Good night, I am going to bed now. Guess that means you get the last word.
