Ban Gabbneb CK Dexter Holland from Girls Thread

i propose we have him put to death

didnt mean for it to be that specific to neb either - in general if dudes could stay off that thread as long as no one is talking to/about them, plz do. if you dont i might hand out some threadbans because thats always been the vibe of the thread in the past. thx

The thing is, we, the girls, often use that thread to talk about the behaviour of men that we find problematic or difficult to deal with, in order to find solutions if possible, or solidarity if not. This includes men that we interact with online. I know that we try not to make it about specific individuals, but the problem is, without examples it descends into generic man-bashing and generalisations which, believe it or not, most of us very strongly against.

There is now a whole nother thread where men, if they want to talk about the issues on the Girls Only thread, can do so, without invading our space.

But the thing is, in order for an individual man to get ~talked about~ on the Girls Only thread on the specific level that he was being talked, he has to be behaving in a pretty objectionable way (such as completely derailing the Mark Ruffalo thread for a couple of hundred posts) - in which case, the problem is not the Girl thread, but that behaviour in the first place.

not making any assignations of blame here i am just kinda setting general groundrules which i think are pretty reasonable, so thats what im going with. presumably this wont be an issue because i think they're pretty easy to hold to.

they're too reasonable -- i prefer the old "no boys allowed in room" policy -- largely for lols

Yeah, me too. No Boys Allowed In The Room was the best policy. Not even Hoos.

I think those are reasonable rules, too.

It means p much that we can discuss specific examples involving people who don't post here or general issues, but not ILXors specifically, which I think is okay. The latter is what exasperated emails are for.

^^^ yep

rules is rules

I don't think they're reasonable without a clause saying, essentially "if you act like a massive flaming sexist cock then girls WILL tell you off"

The thing is, it's not as if several people didn't try to have reasonable conversations with him, explaining why he was being problematic and he didn't just stick his fingers in his ears going "la la la, mansplain mansplain mansplain."

I do not think it's unreasonable, at that point, to say, in the girl thread, "massive mansplaining douche is, well, a mansplaining douche!" That's hardly "throwing shade" - it's discussing a problem that we have all encountered.
