When did we do such a thing here? A handful of individual men over on the men's forum seem to be absolutely gobsmacked by such an inhibiting idea as not being degrading and sexist towards women. It's almost as if they had never even considered it before. Some even loudly and plainly express hateful misogyny because of "abuse from the past". Might want to start there.

Pointing out that there's a pervading attitude that's problematic on a board is not the same as generalizing half the planet. Although misogyny IS a pervading attitude the whole planet is suffering from.
