This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Post being replied to

You have a tough job. But in this case I would’ve left it up by dulac89

For the sole reason that all of the responses to it were appropriately calling it out for what it was

If the responses were agreeing and adding to his comments, that would be one thing. But since the comments were near universally critical, i think it sends a stronger statement to leave it up

I’ll be honest, I’ve changed the way that I think and speak in the last 15 years partly because of this board and hearing the perspectives of female posters. I appreciate the female posters that stuck around when this board was much more misogynistic and help to change it, and I think the board is better for it. Not perfect but definitely better

But you’re the boss So I totally get it if it’s easier to avoid the controversy in the first place
