Why acknowledging sexism (even inadvertent sexism) is important

    I'm hoping DN takes this to its logical conclusion and bans the users who have written unproductive comments here. I am sorry that you've had to deal with it, and I hope they stop facilitating this behavior.

    Thank you for taking the time to write out your thoughts and feelings on the subject. I'm a bit stunned by how calm, collected, and selfless you've remained in light of a situation that makes me pull at my hair.

      Why are feminists always so quick to censor views they don't agree with?

      Might be cutting your nose off to spite your face to ban nearly half of the active user base, and this is coming from someone who agrees it was a huge and sexist oversight from the DN team.

      What do you think is going to happen if you ban people because of that? You think the thought process will go like this don't you

      "Wow I got banned from DN for saying that t-shirt uproar wasn't a big deal, damn I should really change my ways and re-evaulate what I say in future"

      BZZZZT wrong! That's never going to change anyones ways.

      If you ban them they'll get angry, think the whole thing was blown out of proportion, feel they were banned for having a different opinion than the greater hive-mind BUT wont believe that opinion was wrong then scuttle off to an echo chamber where they wont be banned for having that opinion.

      Integration is the way forward not just kicking people out that just makes them angry.
