I pointed out that that the problem wasn't gender based.


You did not point out anything.

You made a cryptic claim that contradicts the thesis of the article posted, and the experience of many woman including at least some women in this group.

The "problem" is not "Ignorance and being loud about". If you think that is what the author of the article was talking about, you missed the point.

If you really feel a need to argue in this group that a problem that women experience is not gender-based, I suppose you could do that.

But you really don't need to expect that everyone here will agree with you, or just say nothing, simply because you decide to come along and type a sentence asserting that the thesis presented is wrong (and the experience of women here is accordingly imaginary or whatever your "point" might be).

And you really don't need to be calling me obnoxious for calling you on that.

It seems there is really very little point in having a protected group with a Statement of Purpose that participants are expected to adhere to when this sort of thing happens, let alone is condoned.
