Well it's the answer to the supject heading.

No but it could be anyway. And I know it is. If what *really* happened
was not an issue of sexism, how is that relevant? She came in here 
complaining of sexism and got rejected for that. I know how sexist the
net is and don't appreciate people saying it's all in my head, or in
someone elses. Perhaps there is no sexism on your mailing list. Perhaps
Rosie is full of shit. I don't know and I don't care. It is about 
legitimising the complaint of sexism because I've seen it alot.

What ends up happening is people end up writing the whole question
off as contentless bullshit without an acutal considered reply.
Not always, but ... now for example:
