Agreed completely. However, as one poster said, offensive/objectifying/whatever posts tend to stick out a lot more from the background of "normal" posts. I can understand how seeing those posts, even if it is only occasionally, could contribute to feeling somewhat unwelcome, and could make you wonder about the attitudes/ thoughts of a lot of male posters. And we agree that the forum as a whole is not hostile, but even as a minority of posts/posters, how much hostility is okay?
