Well, that depends greatly on your point of view. /obi-wan
I mean, it's a post in which I show some scans and say I'm pissed off, full stop, yes. So in that sense no, it's not a complaint about sexism. And anything dismissive immediately out of the gate can only be called rude and patronizing rather than genuinely tone-argument oppressive (I can't even claim dismissal of women's voices with a straight face, because a lot of people here have no reason to know I'm a woman).
On the other hand, I posted into a particular community with a particular history and perspective: it's reasonable to expect that many people here at S_D will immediately recognize this kind of blatant sexism, and I posted it with the understanding that much of the comm would easily intuit my complaint just from the context (both of this comm's treatment of this kind of story, and of my own posting history).
So when a person perceives the discussion of sexism to have started (and how they therefore interpret the comm rules about that kind of discussion) will depend on whether they're working from the same context as I am.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
