By this theory we should make Canuck fans and Oiler fans part of the mod team. Who cares if someone feels less welcome here if no one is breaking any rules? Or if they are, does it matter who hands out punishment?
I really don't think it takes a woman or a minority to empathize with a woman or a minority.
The reason there isn't a woman in the mod team is likely because none have expressed interest and/or they simply aren't good enough. Not to mention males likely make up 95% of the site so it is no surprise that all mods are part of the largest demographic on the site.
Making a women or a person of color a mod for the sake of "diversity" is wrong. Posters should earn that, not being given a role because they have a vagina or are of color.
I hope this doesn't paint me as a misogynist or a sexist since those are the new buzz words of the day.
