Risker/AnneWell, it's not something I'd probably comment on at the noticeboards themselves, but I did leave a message for Drmies on his talk page.[1]I think the most bizarre aspect of the post is that it was made at all. Birthday posts on the admin noticeboard? Really?

_______________________________________________Another day, another example of casual sexism exhibited by en.wikipedia editors who mean absolutely no harm, but simply don't understand how they could cause harm while meaning none. I seem to have caused significant alarm and offense to a number of male editors be publicly pointing out that I found the comment inappropriate.Was there a better way to handle this? I can't help feeling that saying nothing or hatting the section would have been supporting the notion that it's either not a problem or not remarkable for male editors to make comments encouraging others to comment on female editors' bodies.
