[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5948208, member: 1"] Well, to be fair, [I]nobody[/I]* admits to being sexist or racist. Most people will take offence at the very insinuation. In the end, all we can do is decide for ourselves whether we believe someone's words or actions to be sexist, and to stand up for what we believe to be right. This is a perception and an awareness issue. And it's worth noting that the scope of this thread has drifted far beyond this particular example. We're now discussing sexism in the hobby in a general sense, which is an excellent discussion to have. Unfortunately, although we've been having it here on EN World for the better part of 10 years, it pretty much always goes the same way. Even going back to the Avalanche Press cheescake covers discussions nearly a decade ago, the conversation usually consists of women tellng us why they feel that way, and some men joining in to tell them that they're wrong. Eventually the women leave, because it's an unpleasant environment for them. I'm hoping threads like this will - eventually - result in an increased awareness of what these women are saying here, on their blogs, on other forums, and have been saying for years. [SIZE=1]*Well, very few people.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
