Oh I'm not falling out with anyone about it.
But in regards to the other thread it wasn't my view that women don't have the right to feel how they feel as women but that their ire was directed at entirely the wrong thing and the biggest topic of conversation in the other thread was about something that didn't even solely concern women.
I just think the fact that it was a gender split in forum consensus that I objected to that being used as a reason to label me and my view on it "sexist" I found it baffling and if it wasn't so annoying I'd have found it hilarious too. When I wasn't being told I was sexist, I was being told I'm a man so don't understand (men don't think much you see) but the double standard in sexism didn't seem to apply.
This isn't a personal thing. I can't remember whether you personally posted anything in that vein but the general tone of the thread certainly was.
