> For me, a discussion about whether an Outreach programme is sexist against men - no matter the conduct of the discussion - is not going to be understood by such readers as a jolly exercise in freedom of speech, or the mature discussion of a community that thinks it might have solved it sexism problems.
I understand that there is a danger there but I think the greater good is served by having the discussion because I think the response shows more good things about our community than if such content is censored. It shows that we can have an adult conversation and it shouldn't be a newsflash that there are people with many different opinions out there, it would be a disservice to pretend anything different.

It certainly shows things about our community. I'm not sure they're good, though.
