    It has come to my attention the following:

    Every After Hours Moderator and Category Moderator of this forum are male.

    Sexist threads including Derogoratory comments about women are abounding, including the recent:

    'Lame or embarrassing things you fapped to before you had internet porn', that is dominated by male voices and includes the phrases:

    'That was before I found pussy!',
    'An abundance of muff!'
    'hairy muffs everywhere!'

    When it was brought to the attention of a moderator (male) that this could be considered offensive to women, instead of professionally moderating and telling me that they would look into it and check it out, I was shot down straight away and told what I was saying was rubbish,

    Thoughts?

    Perhaps lightening up a bit. Not everything is sexist.

    Why are there no female moderators on this forum?

    They're not sexist. Just nonsense posted by gobshítes. Which a lot of people tend to be opposing...

    Yeah, a few things.

    1. We are not going to let a thread run attacking the mods
    2. The OP is bringing an argument from another thread they are thread banned from
    3. There are more appropiate forums such as Feedback for this type of discussion
    4. The mod team is not all male
