I called out a specific gendered slur as such. Nothing to do with
“offense”, and I made no such claim.

It's a good thing I was not doing that, then. I was calling out an
anti-female slur where I saw it.

If you missed the specified group, I'll say it again: Anyone who is
female had their gender used as though it were an insult.

That's not welcoming to women, and if it goes unchallenged then we give
the perception it is acceptable. It is not, so we must say so as clearly
as we can.

Where people have further misrepresented my complaint or my position,
I've necessarily corrected them. Hopefully I've been clear enough that
no-one needs to once more impute words or motivations to me that I never
expressed.
