Chill, I think you are overstating that the female members of this forum have a big problem with the existence of the thread. I just went through and re read all of the self identified female posters and the main sentiment from all but two was that the comments in the thread and more importantly around the site was the problem. (I apologize if there was more or if I missed any posts or if I am misrepresenting what anyone has said).

I think that it is much more fair to say that some of our female members have a problem with the threads existence and all think the site could generally to a better job with sexist attitudes and language. I believe that many of your posts don't fairly acknowledge this position and sound like you believe there is a homogenous opinion amount the female posters

All that said the last few pages of this discussion have become very patriarchal. A bunch of guys (some with authority) discussing how women should be treated on this site.

Getting rid of the thread does nothing to address the underlying issues.
