I've seen a lot of people denying the moderator is exist. I don't care one way or another. The real question is was this behavior sexist in this context? That's much easier to answer: yes. How we know: A woman said she was seeing a discrimination pattern. But what if she's wrong? Then we'll overcorrect for sexism, realize it, and ideally find a point of moderation. Guess what...we're probably going to do that anyway because no system is perfect so the likelihood of moderately correcting sexism without over-/under-correcting is low. All we need to do is let the women speak and give their perspective equal footing. This can more easily be resolved without attempting to force objective judgments. I know that can be a hard idea for science-minded people to swallow. Unfortunately, science has become too objective and still lacks solid frameworks for dealing with the subjective experience, which sexism is so clearly intertwined with.
