My comment was in reply to malgosia, which I do not believe is your name?

It most certainly was.
Exactly what did I say that was offensive ?

Karen,
Apparently sarcasm doesn't come through email very well.

What makes it universally fun to sensor people? you indicate you know
it
is fun...why?
I point that out because as your example illustrates generalizations
tend
to make no sense, and fun must be at least understandable as fun no?

So let me understand this. If a woman (me, for example) would bemoan
the
fact that 80% of participants in a certain field of endeavor are male,
that's
not gender discrimination, right? (I assume it isn't, since it goes on
all
the time in all kinds of media, without any visible censorship.) But
if
a
man bemoans the fact that 80% of participants in (another) field of
endeavor
are female, that's gender discrimination? To my mind, labeling the
latter as
"gender discrimination seems like... gender discrimination. Or is it
that,
by definition, censoring a man cannot possibly be gender
discrimination?
I know it is fun to censor people, but isn't it *more* fun to do it for
reasons that make sense?
