Thanks for this response. It is true that I'm cynical in this respect and no I haven't overlooked other responses.
My opinions are not just about this forum, but about lifelong experience as a woman writer. The main points were not to do with personalised attacks here, but the alarming imbalances in anthologies and lack of women editors.
I'm not sure why this keeps being turned into personal stuff. Yes, I do respond and object to people being offensive, not all to people stating their opinions. Some people are being offensive and I've said so. That is all. And this happens with this subject. Last list I was in same thing happened: people got offensive and personal and so i just left. Will do again I think.
Frankly, all the research that supports all this is available not only in my anthology but elsewhere for those who believe this is all just nonsense.
