I don't think it's gender related, & I don't think women should get a pass because they're women.
If I said something like "I'm not stupid, like women are." in my profile, I wouldn't be surprised
if it got a negative response.
But that isn't what happened here. In this thread, Maddog dragged something from outside the thread that didn't relate to the OP into the thread to lecture the OP about something that wasn't an issue.
Did the OP refuse to divulge bike information prior to be lectured? Nope.
Is the opinion that women are less likely to engage in debates about bicycle brand "sexist"? Hardly. Sounds pretty damn accurate to me, nor is the observation insulting to men.
As a male, you don't need to make sure that everyone is held equally accountable. Men
are held less accountable, so you have nothing to make up for by not giving women a "pass".
Get off your horse.
