Right, but I don't find *that* attitude particularly safe or welcoming.

I don't want to place myself in a situation where I have to deal with people who may become angry and abusive because I accidentally poke their delicate sensibilities, and I don't want to have to walk on eggshells lest I upset the Vegan Christian Lesbian Nicaraguan Amputees Against Whaling movement.

You'll get my backing when you stop discriminating against men.
