Calling out the Men's Group or any other group puts the attention on all members of that group and quite frankly turns the discussion into one about the GROUP rather than the ISSUES. Furthermore, such calling out has lead to spectacular feuds between groups in the past. It got very ugly and resolved nothing.

Therefore, in the interest of keeping the discussion on point please call out specific sexist/misogynist/otherwise offensive posts or threads, not groups.

The thread(s) in question deserve criticism here. Intaglio started a thread on one and it's still active for comments.

Thanks,

Gormy
