This makes me sound really finicky and such, but I really have issues with this and it's bugging me a LOT. Anywho, there's this one passage in the Forum Rules that is really aggravating (well, to me at least).
"Offensive racial remarks vulgar, nasty sexual content....Certain words will automatically get you banned, that is out of respect for the many women and children on this site."
Why only 'women and children'? Men can also get, er, disrespect (That's not the right word. Agh. But it's not coming to me right now) from bad things as well, and it isn't as if women are oh-so-fragile and will perish and melt at the mention of any vulgar things. Yes, it's disgusting, disrespectful, etc., but really. I think it SHOULD say "this is out of respect for all the members on this site." Not just women and children. Yes, children is a given, and males tend to be less offended by 'sexual, nasty, vulgar' things, but JUST women? Hmmm...
I'm not too sure if this topic is in the right place, but I put it in the 'Other' section just to be safe. So. What are all you peoples' thoughts on this? Should it be changed? Or should it just stay like this?
