Could GWS go a whole day without sexism / stereotypes?

Question

I decided to count the last day but gave up after I got to 21 sexist posts (there are a LOT)

So what do you think, is it even possible?

What about yourself personally?

And do you think there are more anti-women or anti-men questions in GWS, and if so, why? :-)

Answer 1

no probably not

for me i try not to be.

i thank they are some what the same really.

Answer 2

Not with all of the idiots who come out here to provoke fights and bash feminists.  I see a LOT more men insulting and provoking women here. I think some men see feminists as man-haters, so they feel justified in provoking online fights with the women here.  Man-haters and feminists are two different things, guys!  If people don't like feminists or women's studies, then they get out and go troll somewhere else..They can go play in traffic for all I care.

Answer 3

Did you include all sexist comments or just ones against women like most women on here do?

Answer 4

Perhaps that's why it is called gender and women's studies.

There are plenty of anti feminist questions on GWS, there are less anti women questions. There are a lot of anti male questions here.

But of course it depends on your point of view. Feminists can't understand that an attack on feminism is NOT an attack on women.

Answer 5

It's just the nature of the topic!  Everyone likes to be a button-pusher!

Answer 6

I don't think so. But then again, they're the reason I stay in GWS. They are what make (and keep) GWS interesting. I mean, only peaceful posts all over the board would get very boring. Nobody would appreciate a very rosy GWS where we all are friends for ver long, I'm sure.

You know me. I'm never sexist. I expose sexism wherever it exists, and that's all I do. I never make misandrist or misogynist statements.

That is a grey area. The feminists will only spot misogynists, and the anti-feminists/equalists/masculists (call them what you will) will only spot misandrists. I feel we have a good number of both. A census is the last thing GWS needs though.

When things get too rough, I cool off in the Mathematics section, and go through Jokes and Riddles to select jokes for my dejected cousin, who was gutted by the exam results. (rightly so)

Answer 7

Well isn't that why this category sucks?

Answer 8

No chance.

Answer 9

No.  More anti-men postings.

Answer 10

It's not possible. People tend over generalize (as I just did there), and out of it comes stereotypes and sexism. I highly doubt GWS could survive without them.
