"Move on" is exactly what women are doing, and they don't seem any worse
for it. Remember that we're having this discussion because someone asked
specifically why women don't participate in LUG activities.

Who cares? It's easier to just not turn up for the meetings at all. I've
been doing that for years, and it's worked perfectly for me.

(Oh, and please disabuse yourself of the notion that only women are put
off by crass behaviour. There do exist men who don't think respectful
behaviour is "special treatment.")

What joke? I see only yet another attempt to trivialise a document you
haven't read by invoking a contrived analogy.

It's much more pathetic than offensive.

You've been given multiple, highly-specific answers about what exactly
it is that discourages women from participating in discussion. So far,
apart from your attempt to make fun of them, there is no evidence that
you have tried very hard to fathom anything.

Might I suggest a remedial reading comprehension course?
