These are entirely reasonable statements, and they're flagged. Not just downvoted, flagged. Censored. Removed from the discussion.
That's my only problem right now. I understand user comment flagging is useful in lieu of moderation, but I'm personally seeing myself silenced persistently in this discussion and it's extremely discouraging.
In at least one instance, I've even been told that directly challenging a sexist call to action is "off-topic" and "insensitive".
This is all happening on an article that is a direct result of sexism being repressed in the industry. Should I just wait a few years for the sexism to fester, then make a blog post of my own once the damage has already been done? Because that seems to be the only acceptable way to express myself here.
