Nothing was misinterpreted - knox is interrogating bizarre and unpleasant behaviour and getting shouted down because that behaviour is entirely 'normal'.
She's also being much more chilled than I think a lot of you realise. My partner was utterly livid when she read this thread.

That's a recurring thought I have, imagine this scenario with race and you would have an army of outraged people. But because sexism is totally naturalized, they are not even embarassed of what they've been doing.
But I won't even expect anybody to quote or reply to you. Despite the fact there has been some arrogant attempts to pretend this was actually an intellectual debate, none of that was genuine. It quickly descends to name calling and just blatant assholism.
The behaviour here makes me actually worry about real life.
