Ok, that's enough, after a second and a third wave of pruning, this thread is dunzo.
Warning to all, male, female, or any other gender, paid or unpaid, do not restart this debate in another thread. All sides have had more than enough opportunity to say their peace.
The n word is not something I am comfortable with being used the way it was in this thread, nor will suggestions about stepping into traffic ever be acceptable here. Infractions and bans will be issued when people cannot be civil and have adult disagreements without resorting this these kinds of things.
