(63,909 posts)read what he posted and what the issue was. I gather that he is voluntarily leaving, so there is no issue with banning anybody on the basis of his language. But HopeHoops was PPR'd for, in Skinner's word, "misogyny." Which is the word (along with "sexism" that several posters here, including myself, are advocating to be added to the TOS.
I am puzzled by the examples of problem language you give ---Republicans War on Women and Bill Maher-- since I don't see any context that would apply to what is being discussed here. We are talking about adding two very commonly used terms already in our lexicon to the TOS language: sexism and misogyny. We have no problem using "racism" and "homophobia" so it baffles me that we get such pushback on "sexism" and "misogyny." Perhaps you can explain the difference to me.
