Does THIS Seem at all Sexist to Anyone?

[Spazito]

113. Thanks for your answers...

In doing a comparison between the two threads, it seems very few posters can be found in both threads which would, to me anyway, render the experiment less than useful in it's execution. Very few of your invitations to participate in this thread seem to have been accepted, as of yet anyway.

If I am understanding this response correctly:

"I did not presuppose what the results would be, only that there would likely be a difference."

the "likely difference" you were expecting to see in the outcome was less posters who saw "sexist" in your first thread would see "sexist" in your second, is my understanding correct? If so, given the 'control group' you wanted to use has not chosen to participate in 'Part B' of the experiment, would it not be correct to say there is not a measurable "difference" to be found?

What exactly do you mean by this statement:

"The only exception was the one that was acting by proxy for another poster in this thread."

I could not find any post on the 'Part A' thread stating a poster was participating as a "proxy" for anyone. Was this an assumption on your part re a poster being a "proxy" for someone else?
