So these forums are not safe for women, not at all. Women can't come here to be educated without being offended or verbally harassed. For example, there is somebody here who has, as his sig, a site for bitporn. Do the board mods really believe that women want to see that sort of thing? Do they think intelligent, business oriented women don't notice or care about that?
I think it boils down to personal sensitivity. Practically all my partners (and my country is more conservative than the States) had no problems with porn and would even suggest watching it together. Of course I suppose you might not consider the likes of a double-degree holding lawyer and bankers intelligent or business oriented but...
Also, is any woman here seriously being harrassed (the definition of which is debatable as well) for nothing except the fact she's a woman?
I don't think women are given too much shit on this thread, save one particularly drama-and-insult-filled thread. I find myself holding back from trolling down on the people I know are women. Men want to protect women; it's their instinct if they are decent human beings.
LH66: Do women patronize gas stations and liquor stores where pornography is sold? It seems a fair analogy to merely the word porn appearing in someone's signature. You are taking quite a moral stance here, and I am not sure the rest of the world agrees with you.
