I completely agree with your underlying points (and voted up your article), but I wonder why you had to go and spoil an otherwise excellent post by "catastrophizing" the conflict and framing it as "the Less Wrong Gender Wars". That sort of silly hyperbole doesn't help; in fact, it is likely to make things worse.
I hope that unlike the "Culture Wars", the interested parties here would take the hyperbolic designation as a signal to get less rather than more confrontational in their exchange. Then again, priming still works on aspiring rationalists. What might be a better way to designate this cluster of recent arguments?
If you meant it ironically, I completely missed that, and I've seen enough other references to 'war' and the like here today to think that many people here take such metaphors seriously, too seriously.
I upvoted this article and this comment. Great post, but the "gender wars" are beneath this community.
