5. Oh it's seen as a perfectly acceptable opinion here

Juries let a post stand where a member described the behavior of 95% of women "disgusting." He was talking about infidelity--women who cheated on their husbands with him, no less. Thankfully he was tombstoned, but long after that post.

This community is far too tolerant of sexism and a good number trivialize it at every opportunity. Most of the threads attract the same posters, who either insist a concern is insignificant, or when a woman, like myself, posts about issues like violence against women, they arrive to complain I'm not talking about men. They work diligently to silence discussion about violence against women. I'll let you come to your own conclusions about why. I know what I think.
