Except that there are women with autism who should be able to expect support from this forum as well as men with autism. Openly expressing misogyny doesn't really help make autistic women feel very welcome here, does it? And you lonely autistic guys, you would think that you would want to encourage autistic women who might actually be able to understand you and tolerate your quirks to hang around. Letting people hate on women in these forums is self-defeating if your objective in life is to get with girls. You guys are supposed to have such superior logic and rationality--use it and stop scaring away the people who might actually be able to help you improve your life by contributing a supportive female autistic perspective to it.

*applauds* I couldn't explain it any better. Why treat aspie/autistic women like they're second class when they're of the sex you're trying to be with? I don't understand it at all.

For the millionth time, there should be no men posting on this forum, Women's Discussion. As you can see, it does not result in a place where women feel free to speak to each other.

In the upper left corner of the box next to the comment, you can find the name of the person who posted it.

I'm so happy you've found the site rules, iliketrees. Don't forget to read the one prohibiting personal attacks.

Is that not in itself a personal attack?

Even though you are not making drama because of personal attacks.

When I said the other day that some autistic men have to go chameleon in daily life as well, *you* perceived this as a personal attack against women - because *you* believe that this is an aspie-woman-only issue (on no scientific basis), and therefore implying that autistic men could have it too is perceived as a personal attack against you.

You, Claradoon, and few others like you - are simply offended when a man posts here, regardless of the post's content - apparently because you have sexist reasons.

No, I didn't.
You really don't understand what part of your comments was offensive, and you think it was that part?
Fascinating.

Alright, if you insist. Not sure how linking to stickies is personal attack, but alright. Sorry for linking to the stickies, I am an awful bully of a person.
