LGBT vs. Feminists (new rule proposed - and why I think this is a non issue that should die now) [View all]

Last edited Tue Feb 14, 2012, 03:14 PM - Edit history (1)

I think we all hashed out the nature of iverglas's being blocked and why she was unblocked.

That discussion went off the rails and was once more being used to fight the IMAGINARY battle of which identity is more important, LGBT or Feminist.

I would like to propose a new rule.

Nobody gets to bring up which thing should be paramount. IF and ONLY if an issue arises in which that distinction is somehow meaningful, will that particular discussion be acceptable.

Please let me know your thoughts about this proposed rule.
