5. I can only guess and that would be all about you, not the two women.

It is sad the only way one can express the outrage is an attack on all women, to vilify a couple.

9. Why would you make the assumption that it would involve misogyny?

You have no idea what a fellow member would say. I have non-misogynistic comments about these two that would get me tombstoned.

It is not necessary to assume something and attack fellow members making accusations.

10. You are right, since the poster was not bold enough to spell it out, it is a guess.

Hence, I'm starting with a "why". And I cannot think of anything that would get a poster banned otherwise as you state the possibility.

Discount all said if that is the case. Otherwise, I stand with what I say. No one would dare a racist slur with a black person we do not like but we are way too comfortable throwing a sexist slur toward women we deem vile. That says something.
