The link to the post on VAWG was my mistake—I intended to link to the comments specifically, which got noticeably heated after someone followed up what I thought was an incredibly well-researched and persuasive post with “but what about men’s rights.” What I thought were pretty charitable responses explaining how that’s not actually relevant to the discussion got downvoted beyond belief. In my (limited, yet colorful) experience, EA seems to have a recurring problem allowing gender issues to be prioritized.

Thanks for this clarification—I had the same response to the comments on that post.
