Not sure it was trolls or MREs that led Buffy to think that here was not a place she wanted to be anymore. Trolls and MREs are generally too stupid to do anything other than laugh at.
The discussions that become most wearing for me go like this:
Feminist: X is a problem that women face, as evidenced by
Poster A: I've never experienced that, nor have any of my female friends, so you're wrong.
Feminist: Glad neither you nor your friends have never experienced X, however, it is something that many/most women experience.
Poster A: You're telling me that I'm lying. This is what's wrong with feminism, you have to see women as victims all the time, blah blah blah
Feminist: That's not what I said at all, I said that most women experience it, not that you must have done.
Poster A: endlessly circle argues that that's what Feminist meant while going on endlessly on other bits of the forum about what a bunch of hostile/wanky/stupid/insert insult here bitches everyone on fwr is.
It's tiring. And it stifles honest debate and discussion.
So, I imagine that if someone as grouchy as I am has enough, eventually, the ever reasonable Buffy was going to been worn down as well. Well done, those women, what a service you've done to this community!
