If there are flames and insults being hurled based on someone`s gender, it is sexism. If it is an honest cultural difference, the person making the problematic remarks should be able to comprehend that they are offensive to some and avoid talking that way. (They will be pmed about the content.)

Also, a question if anyone's willing to answer - why is it against the rules to discuss sexual orientation?
|
Because religious discussion is against the rules. There has NEVER been a discussion of sexual orientation which has not come to discussions of morality, then religion, then flaming of a religious nature. It is not a discussion that can stay within the bounds. It ALWAYS turns into a flaming hurtful debate.
