Have you ever read a thread about gender issues? It's worse.

Side note: I appreciate the concern over whether this is exploitative. It doesn't make me mad. If you've read the stories, it hasn't been at ALL or even close, but the concern is fine.

I don't know -- the concern seems more about political correctness than actually fixing a problem.

And as someone who has been here for a while (a throwaway became my main account), this is probably the most disheartening thread I've ever read here. Where's the hacker mentality of trying to make something better? Criticize if you absolutely must, but then you damn sure better have a better idea on hand than "it's a complex problem".

When the topic of gender issues come up it is a three or four sentence comment then a multi paragraph response so I don't make it very far in the thread's.
