abaya-
As much as I was making a case for people to think about differences between the sexes, I think the desire not to have this thread moved is less about that and more about trust. Yes, anyone can read threads in LL. Yes, all of the these forums are arbitrarily designated spaces. But it doesn't matter that it's arbitrary - they have rules that create a kind of safe space. I know a lot about safe spaces from my days as a facilitator, and even though there can be no real privacy here and there is certainly no rule against moving threads to more appropriate forums, I think this space as it is defined should be maintained as is. Obviously at least one woman see this as a safe space, and I think we should respect that.
The spirit of my suggestion to move it came from the idea that maybe a coed discussion about this would be more productive and not because I felt that the actual act of moving it would be important. Besides, that other thread with the meta-discussion seems to be a good enough place for this to continue if men want to be involved.
Also, re-reading what I just quoted you as saying, I realize that you probably were not referring to me in any way since I am not so quiet a person.
