To me this thread seems like an enormous minefield, maybe that's why there's been so much debate.
I think that ultimately, all any of the female posters or others that feel the thread should be shut down want- based on what I'm reading into their pretty reasonable posts is- respect.
It isn't shocking that people want a little respect or class shown their way for whatever reason. It's not a difficult concept and it's pretty easy to see why some of the comments in that thread specifically but elsewhere seem disrespectful.
This coming from a guy that voted to keep it, and ultimately really don't even care that much as I don't frequent the thread much anyway. Actually upon reflection... not even sure why I bothered voting. Maybe because this thread is somewhat interesting. Shutting it down seemed a bit extreme to me.
Basically, try not to be a dbag and be respectful to women. It's not hard.
