I have a different perspective on the issue, Jiri. The same arguments, points, and counterpoints that are in this thread have popped up in a lot of places before appearing here: Cracked, Slate, Salon, etc. Sometimes the points are made in the context of discussing gamergate, sometimes in response to a random video of street harassment in another country, sometimes in response to an Op-Ed in the mainstream media. The contexts in which the arguments arise vary - be it video games, viral video or news piece - but the arguments themselves don't; they seem divorced from the context. It appears to be several groups on both sides of the debate agitating for a platform wherever they can find it and the context - here hockey- just doesn't seem to matter. So I don't think the discussion is hockey related and I come to FOI for pure, unadulterated hockey fun.
If that didn't matter, why have the Off-Topic Forum?
