Yup, you're right. Mea culpa. I absolutely should not have used that term to describe Jim Benning. Incompetent was the much better word.
Now that that's done, want to set aside the ad hominem and engage the substance?

As an aside, my opinion is that both extreme sides of this debate make it nearly impossible to discuss this subject rationally, especially on an anonymous internet message board. It's like an atheist and a priest trying to come to an agreement on the existence of god while two groups of people randomly throw rotten fruit and vegetables at the side they don't agree with. Entertaining, yes. Winning hearts and minds... not so much.

There's no grey area here. Winning the hearts and minds of people who are being sexist? If they can't recognize their own error here and say, "yes, I can see why I'm wrong there, in future I'll make an effort to refrain from talking that way", it reflects poorly on them and they should receive a proportionate amount of shaming.
