This Board taught me to listen to what women here are telling me. When there's a heads up, it's for a genuine reason.
Same.
Every time I've ever thought, ooh that's a bit harsh or that sounds extreme, I've been bloody wrong. It's generally not harsh or extreme enough.
Which was very forcibly born in on me in the halcyon days of GenderTrender.
Gallus Meg just assumed that every single man who came on the board was there to manipulate, and very likely have a wank about it.
They would always, always just say they wanted to talk/listen/compromise. She made up the rules so wasn't bound by any censorship. After literally one or two of her non cooperative, well placed, responses, their masks dropped and they went into full foul mouthed rant mode.
At which point she banned them.
Women with power. 'Twas a thing of beauty.
