There was a time I posted considerably less than I had in the past because it was just so pervasive. It was easier to ignore than argue.
I am sure when Photon split that thread, he had no idea he was opening the flood gates, but he gave us an opportunity. I appreciated that he asked what we thought. I felt like just being asked, in and of itself, was a huge step forward.

It's good you found a way to speak up. There's nothing wrong with that. Sexism needs to be addressed in a far more assertive manner than what has been done here today. In no way am I in disagreement with you. I do find it unfortunate that you felt that until recently there was no avenue for you to address your concerns. Just goes to show how far CP has to go I suppose.
Closing the thread isn't the answer though. At least in my humble opinion.
But, what is done is done.
