I do agree that as a community it makes sense to understand and consider the rationale when an idea is not capable of achieving broad support within important sub-populations (which I hope we can agree includes women and LGBTQ, since we are already discussing gender, but obviously extends to other axes). Inclusiveness is important, good ideas can come from anywhere, and I desire neither the tyranny of the majority nor the minority. People come first.
I do want to caution: I don’t think this has to be us-vs-them, and I think that mindset is long-term not conducive to finding common ground. Based on the 2024 Nix Community Survey the user base is around 80% men. By definition, any idea that finds broad support in this community will be “discourse liked” by a mostly male cohort.
