16. I'm afraid it's already started.
:( One of the links to the story that was posted here (I don't remember which one) had a comment page, which I made the mistake of reading. :grr: Probably about 20% of the responses were downright misogynistic and hateful - stuff that would've earned anyone who said it to my face a tongue-lashing, at the very least. And that's not counting the "less offensive" ones that raised the question of women's "fitness" in a "neutral" manner. :grr: It's sickening, really. I'm not defending Nowak's actions, and I definitely think she has some issues that need to be worked out, but the fact that she happens to be a woman shouldn't really enter into it. It's not like men have never done crazy sh*t like this before. (I'm not trying to be a b*tch or insult men here, either - just pointing out the difference in response when a woman does something like this.) :banghead:
