If someone were to replace the word 'men' with 'black people' and the word 'women' with 'white people' then this OP would have (rightfully) been considered extremely racist and have been locked with the poster warned, or even banned, long ago. But for some reason, blatant sexism and extreme generalisation of males gets a free pass? Why is that?
Your comparison is specious. Women being cautious around men is an example of a minority class protecting themselves from a majority class; white people discriminating against black people is an example of a majority class exercising their power over a minority class.
Also, the sexism in the thread isn't getting a free pass: while mod action isn't taken, posters do mock and debate it..
