Male Chauvinism is also there. I admit I also put my 10 cents to that FLAME to stop it.
This is interesting. Male chauvinism how?
I could see some folk very passionately arguing for what they strongly believe in, and that there are different versions of the same event. It's like the story at Rashomon gate -- people see what they want to see. Perhaps you were looking for male chauvinism. No offense meant, it's just that we're all not really wired for strong objectivity and rational thinking all the time [1].
hehe True. i liked it . This is becoming a Rashomon story through the narrations and articulations. Anyway lets leave Male chauvinism from this thread. :-)
Flame wars are a fact of these lists, where people with very strong and sometimes differing convictions come together. I think it makes very uninteresting and generally useless conversation when everyone agrees with everyone. Get on with it. The water has to eventually clear... only to muddle later. :-)
Well said
