Fair comment, and I think it's addressed in the OP. We are working on clearer guidelines in this respect, but as with anything the clearer you make the guidelines the clearer the ways to subvert them.
Maybe a better way is clearer intent. Our intent is to, in the same way we try not to foster racism or homophobia, is to not foster sexism.
But we are working on better wording, though myself I'd like to have any new moderators we add in place already before we do that, just because it'd be nice to have more input from those that'll be the ones looking for it.
And there'll be revisions as we go, just like there's always been.
I don't think you need to fear about posting though. Without clearer guidelines we're not going to all of a suddenly crack down, and when the clearer guidelines come, we're still not going to suddenly crack down, it'll be more warnings if anything to start.
