A question...
I am going to post and run, but I wonder.....

Have you ever found yourself responding to a post and then editing it to make sure you are going to avoid a DU flamewar, even if you have to make adjustments to your opinions?

I have found myself avoiding a response to a post because it could be misconstrued.

So fess up loungers....

2. I try to avoid criticizing women at all costs, even if a particular one deserves it...
...because I will inevitably be accused of being a misogynist.

3. Which, ironically, forces you to use a different standard for men and women...
making you act in sexist ways even though you don't want to. Go figure. :shrug:
