Eva, the remark to which you refer was made by Terreson on Jane's new site (before it became secret women's business). I have known him in the past and, though we definitely do not see eye to eye, he is vocally pro-feminist and as a consequence I was surprised to see his demise because he used a salutation that was not deemed PC.
He definitely did not say "y'all girls have to understand something" , he did say 'y'all women poets' and was howled down for, what I assume to be, diction that was viewed as red-neck. I will bet that Tere opens doors for women, buys them flowers, remembers birthdays, is always courteous but nonetheless because such behaviour carries baggage will be viewed as unacceptable for those very traits.
I speak of 'Poets on Fire' to which the address above will take you.
