Address the points or STFU.

Edited to add:

Wait I've changed my mind. Just STFU.

I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

Just to set the record straight, Eilonnwy has done a lot of great things as an administrator on this forum, even if you didn't see the results of that at first glance from a user perspective. She didn't get powermad, any rule changes no matter how one-sided they might have seemed at the time were done after careful deliberation with the entire staff.

As a moderator and administrator, Eilonnwy has always given 100% of herself in an effort to improve the forums.
Best regards,

Even though I didn't like her I still thought she was a good admin, I'm sad to see her go.

Maybe. But not to me. Sad

So.....

Not wanting a woman on a front-line fighting force or a professional footbal team is a "judgement call" and not wanting girls on my sons little league team is 'sexist'? It's ALL sexism. A decision based on gender and gender alone, no matter what for, is sexism. Period. I maintain there is no 'grey area' when it comes to the word "Sexism".

So my position is that sexism is not "always wrong", it's circumstantial.

It's not sexism just because you make a decision based on sex. If I'm told to choose a team of men, is it sexist to then choose that team of men? Or if im told to point at a woman, am I being sexist by carrying out that task? It only becomes sexist when a decision based on sex is down to prejudice and negativity.
