Regardless of their response in that thread.

The only exception was the one that was acting by proxy for another poster in this thread.

This was more of a 'study' than an 'experiment' as I had no need to mislead or deceive anyone to obtain results.

There was a presumption that there would be a different response to the possibility of a woman with sexist tendencies than to a man. I sought to see what the degree of difference might be and how the various participants would approach the question with the inverted criteria.

I did not presuppose what the results would be, only that there would likely be a difference.

Unfortunately (or perhaps revealingly), I could not come up with a second question that another poster would decide to take personally. I made the mistake of using a suitable quote from another discussion with a different context. As I have discovered, even the other thread was 'suspected' by that poster.

I was looking at the possibility of personal attacks, but I have no doubt that when the other poster interjected context that was not relevant to the question, such attacks were exacerbated.

Nonetheless, after applying methodical disregard for the contamination, I can see that there is a certain tendency. Unfortunately, the results are too corrupt to be reliable. Hell, it wasn't formal or meticulous to begin with.


Does that answer your questions? Feel free to clarify or ask others as necessary.
