In the meantime can we respect its stated purpose?

No. I don't see anything respectable here. Asking for respect while not offering it is rather silly. If you're going to make sexist remarks in a public forum, expect to get called on it. I agree that you should ask for this thread to be closed, and not wait to do so. Or perhaps we could turn in into a learning thread about the unconscious sexism we all engage in sometimes, and where it comes from.

So your history of good actions makes it OK for you to take bad actions in this case? You're logic is assailable. You also seem to be saying that you are blaming me for some trauma you've had in the past because I'm a man. What a bunch of bullshit. If you don't want people involved in your conversation, don't have it publicly. Maybe you should go find a website that only admits women.

I ask again, in what way are house cleaning routines gender-based? I'll add, how will it affect your counseling to hear from men on this subject? An open internet forum hardly seems the place to play out your personal issues, unless that's the stated purpose of the conversation. What you are doing here is a back-handed way to discuss your issues while not discussing them openly, but while being discriminatory about it. Please think about what you're doing.
