ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Obvious flamebait. Making a joke out of sexism is inappropriate and insensitive.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jan 19, 2014, 01:07 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree that the OP was intended to marginalize concerns about the very real problem of sexism. It's dismissive and rude.There is no such thing as an overreaction to sexism, just as there is no such as an overreaction to racism. Both are always wrong. Always.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: stupid, but that's not forbidden

Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Debate it.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: this is tough, I have had 2 alerts for flamebait shot down recently so I am now inclined to leave. besides this is really pretty meh in terms of controversy...
