thing that makes me feel unsafe – men who will endlessly, vociferously argue against them. Maybe a code of conduct isn’t meaningful. But at this point, refusing to listen, refusing to have one. Well, that is.
This quote seems a bit sexist to me.
Actually, I wonder whether the current draft of the code of conduct would allow you to send it here or not.

It seems weird to me that the push (perhaps a movement, who knows) to implement codes of conduct has become so enmeshed with the ultra-liberal feminist movement.

How is this relevant to what MZMcBride said?
Codes of conduct originated in what most people would consider the most stereotypically male-dominated organizations. If you read the article, you'll see that they had to update it in the 1980s to make it gender neutral. Gradually, over the last three generations, codes of conduct have made it through to most sectors of the professional and business worlds. It's hardly an ultra-liberal feminist movement that has led to this.
