Consider this: Everyone's an asshole to each other on the internet, no exceptions. It's not like the treatment is exclusive to certain groups.
In other words, it's not that women get picked on because they're looked down on or whatever, it's just that's how it is around here. The behavior you see here is indiscriminate, not to mention permanent. There's always bound to be someone just waiting to make a witty or otherwise harmful remark to the first person they find. Hell, I'd bet there's no one out there that hasn't walked out of a thread on this site buttmad as all hell, regardless of gender, race, age, political view, or whatever.
Don't expect a bunch of anons to be nice to each other. You're better off posting in Facebook or asking users you're familiar with if you want nice/constructive comments.
The best part? It can't be helped at all. It's been like this since the dawn of time and it will never change.
Unless you implement thought crime or something along those lines.

Edited by DarkSunnyboy: 7/18/2013 5:27:31 AMBrian I need to ask you something and I want you to be totally honest with me, it might be awkward after this but I have to know how you feel, I have kept this in a while and it's about time I was straight up and just confront you about it. I just need to know and I can't see any other way to get over this, it just doesn't seem fair on me if I don't get an answer. I want you to tell me truthfully, no matter what it is, I just want your honest opinion, do you know the muffin man?

Muting doesn't solve the problem, it's just an adaptation. Muting these assholes will never actually solve anything, you're just covering your ears and pretending as though there aren't people out there who vehemently disagree with you, deserve a verbal spanking, or at least fierce scrutiny.

Edited by Brian OA: 7/18/2013 4:51:56 AMMuting's only viable when the the guy's pm'ing you child pornography or just being too annoying. The issue is that some people set the bar too low for "annoying" and can't take a pinch of shit from anyone without losing it.
