Because that is a very odd way to read my post. Boiled down, I said 
/Many women feel intimidated and would like a safe place to post./  A 
sizable number of men have said that, too - yet you choose to lump me in 
with those women, and say *I* am too sensitive (not once did you say 
*they* are too sensitive, although the other posts were often far more 
supportive than mine) and you haven't told any of the men who support 
those who wanted a separate list that *they* were being "too sensitive". 
In other words, you're selectively applying standards and lumping me in 
with "the women" - who are "too sensitive" - rather than responding to 
my actual post. I find this disappointing, but not surprising.
