>> looking at the presentation, I got exactly the same feeling as expressed
so well by Milo. Personally, I don't feel offended by this presentation as
a woman. However, due probably to my limitations, I don't get the messages
that you (Sanghee) meant to deliver, otherwise than the one expressed by
Milo. I support the idea that, due to the prominent placing of your
presentation, it is extremely important that the message conveyed is agreed
upon by the majority of the community, because somehow it does represent
not only your personal view, but the shared view of the community.
re to Jeroen: I don't think that the CoC itself caused the rising of this
issue, on the contrary, it formalized a statement of how the majority of
the community thinks it is right to behave... I think it is there to help,
not to create problems..

just my 2 cents
