Misogyny

I didn't know that's what I was agreeing with. I thought hyperlexian's point was that the presence of encouraged misogyny would tend to make some women feel uncomfortable on the boards, in the context of your having suggested getting a crowd of misogynists together on WP for mutual support. Perhaps I didn't read anything properly, though.
you read it correctly, yes. fraac is twisting the wording and creating entirely new sentiments.
MCalavera, i didn't call you a misogynist, nor would i do so. feel free to approach another moderator if you feel that you have been attacked.
fraac, once again you did not properly read my posts. it would be more effective if you paid attention to my actual words instead of creating something completely new from the pieces. you missed something important:

WrongPlanet is intended as a support board for both males and females. no male or female should feel like they are the target of generalised hate on the forum. if there were a support group for hate on the board, where members were giving each other positive reinforcement for hating a specific protected group (i.e. any gender or race or sexual orientation), then it would not be acceptable to the targeted members.
in all likelihood, it would probably not be accepted under the rules either, but of course it would depend on the specific wording and perceived intent. since the intent of this thread seemed to be for the OP to have advice and support of a helping nature, it was ok. if he was just seeking to form a club of public haters, that would not be ok.
in summary, if members want to get their hate on, they should do so elsewhere as members won't support it and neither will the rules.[/i]

note the two bolded parts. i made a distinction there, that it would depend entirely on the wording and perceived intent. also, it would depend on whether the group or thread was spreading hate. i really hope that you understand it now.
and once again, applying the rules against sexism (aka hate speech against females - which i am not introducing because it already exists within the definition) does not mean i hate misogynists.
