It bothers me how many of these comments pick nits (“plowing isn’t especially feminine”, “you can’t unilaterally declare Crocker’s Rules”) instead of actually engaging with what has been said.
Those are things that actually are said. If a point is blatantly wrong or the entire usage of “Crocker’s Rules” is, in fact, inappropriate then those things are wrong and inappropriate and can be declared as such. If it happened that nobody engaged with the intended point of the article that would perhaps just indicate that people weren’t interested (or weren’t interested in discussing it here). That is… not the case.
