You and me. We're in this together.

John Gilmore: I was ejected from a plane for wearing "Suspected Terrorist" button.

I'm glad that someone has the moral pigheadedness to stand up for themselves. Because I suspect that I wouldn't.

Excuse my confusion, but I just cannot see the mistake as being 'sexist' in any way. The gender of the participants had no bearing whatsoever on the topic in discussion, and nobody was making any sexist assumptions as far as I could see.

Personally, I don't care if people think I'm a man, woman, flying fish or an alien, unless we are in some context in which it could possibly have any bearing. I don't usually stand for/approve of any stereotyping (whilst admitting that certain parts of certain stereotypes may indeed be true for certain individuals, that doesn't make the whole package valid) [but I do hate those folsk who take any opportunity to go on about gender/sexism/prejudice 'issues' at the drop of a hat when it's not really relevant :-) ]

Personlly, I kind of though yonmei's icon looked like Harry Potter and so didn't pay it much heed (it seems tobe a popular theme in many places, and so says no more to me about theposter than the fact tnat mine looks like a Southpark character [for the record, I;m not the world's greatest SP fan, the image just ticked me)

magent sometimes uses a hilarious SP icon, which you should look out for. It's especially fitting, as she actually has a chainsaw.

And while I know you're not specifically supporting anyone here, I appreciate the viewpoint. You said what I would like to have said far better than I could have.

Well, you would think that, you're a guy. :->

Sarcasm intended.

Damn, I thought I had you all convinced on the flying fish front....
