There are a number of other topics on board here, I don't get the point so I'm not going to feed it.

I alone, and amongst many others start a number of threads on a variety of feminist topics so the premise is wrong from the start. Venting after a long couple of difficult day is not 'abusing" anything. I don't understand and I'm not going to play.
