Okay. Then take what you understand about that thread, and consider this: Misogyny is unacceptable. You have stated that a thread you know to be misogynistic should not be considered so unacceptable that someone should leave. That is precisely why I say you are part of the problem. You do not understand. The women here seem to agree in our private group chats that homophobia and racism garner far more criticism than misogyny, and we do not approve. We do not think that simply because we are in a location which celebrates the male form that we need to be subjected to hatred and bigotry, or that when we are, that bigotry and hatred should be ignored or downplayed as it ALWAYS is. You just did it yourself. You're part of the culture here of which Dolfette could no longer abide.What, specifically, do I not understand? I'm more than happy to learn, and I do mean that sincerely. I just hope it's not that I don't understand that the thread referenced is mysoginistic/vile/etc., because I do. As I said.
If it's that I don't understand why someone saying something offensive is enough to make someone leave a forum then no, I don't understand and I probably never will.
But if I've missed something else here then I'd like to know.
Many of us are of the same mindset, but simply have not yet been completely fed up. What we have done instead is remove our galleries (I replaced mine with pastries) and change our names to ones which are less feminine/less attractive. We have removed our genders and sexual orientations from our profiles. We have posted publicly some of the ridiculous private messages we get. We have stated our cases over and over. But many of the male members here do not understand.
Little by little, we'll all be banned or quit, and all who will be left will be the sycophantic men-pretending-to-be-women. We hope the misogynists of this site and their enablers/ignorers will enjoy that.
