We have to stop feigning surprise. 
Or outrage, or disappointment, or any other reaction. Because really, we do just expect it.
I for one would have raised holy hell on anyone making that kind of comment in any sort of serious context. I may have not been around.
The mod forum was a diverse bag sometimes with enforcing misogyny. It wasn't from malice I believe just a result of feeling overly saturated sometimes and an overly inflated sense of tolerance of what should be allowed. I think of it as the John Steward school of thought. If John says it it must be ok. 
Hate speech towards women is so prevalent in our culture....We are so overloaded that we just don't see it right there in all it's glory hiding in plain sight.
Nor do I feel "outraged" or any of the other emotions that people with no case to make ascribe to people who disagree with them.
I *know* that they are engaged in a personal attack. I just don't *feel* it.
It's all they've got, and they do it pretty badly on the whole anyhow. So it would be funny, if the world were just an internet board. On an internet board, it is often hilarious. They're just so "sad", in the brit sense of the word. Losers.
Knowing that these people exist in the real world is the worst part. But hey, they're mainly harmless, dateless men, from all the available evidence.
Of course, resentful dateless (or feminist-hating) men are the ones who go to classrooms and gymnasiums and gun down women who are total strangers to them ...
But no, no, nobody's enabling those behaviours with their denial.

As for your question, I just couldn't follow it and NO, I didn't register to answer this pressing question but thanks for looking me up! 
There could be a training effect. Like I was saying to the co-vivant last night -- I'd never dare do an IQ test these days; I'd be 30 points dumber than I was at 12. A big reason was because of all the testing I did then; I learned how to do IQ tests.
If a juror sees an alert a week saying consistent things about misogynist language/attitudes on the boards, might it reach a tipping point some day?
3-3 with the 2 hide-its with reasons being articulate and "with it". One leave-it that hopes the thread will sink. Why do we need to be happy with hopes that things will sink? Is there some other way to use a sexist term than in a sexist way?? I'm thinking it wasn't being used ironically like ...
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I don't think the term was used in a sexist way. Hopefully, the thread snks quickly though
The very term itself is sexist, so how could it possibly be used in a non-sexist way? 
And then to follow with, 'hope the thread sinks though.' Lame.
What saddens me most, though, is that I know some women who would love to be thought of as a MILF. And yes, they are overweight, by varying degrees, & over 40.
The older I get the more reclusive I become. Someday I will be the old woman who dies in her house & no one will know I'm dead, cuz no one ever saw me anyway. ~lol.
