I personally didn't respond because it looked like trolling, and
you're
not supposed to feed the trolls. But apparently my attempt at troll
starvation is evidence of misogyny? Bummer...

I almost didn't respond for that very reason, but now I'm glad I did.
Women are emailing me telling me how intimidated they feel - they don't
want to post their concerns to this list because they also feel
intimidated here. That I would have never known had I not replied.
Generally this list is home to not sexism but general stupidity. What
will it take before people feel safe enough to post here?
