Tom, when Robin asked me for concrete examples of how the site could do better, I gave four suggestions, and he told me he didn’t want my silly “wishlist.”
That experience has made me somewhat doubt his good faith, so his following a pattern of thinking (Othering women) which has been used so negatively for so long doesn’t look terribly good upon reflection.
I’d like to mention that Eliezer was kind enough to make the distinction between bio sex and gender very clear in this post, which is one of the things I suggested, and which I appreciated. Despite disagreeing with the assumptions underlying other parts of the post, it was good to have that there.
