Protip: instead of calling out the community:
> I think the community is at fault.
Why not speak for yourself and simply call out your own values? It will be more authentic and you'll find people will actually gravitate to you.
If that speaker's opinion about communicating with women violated your own deeply-cherished values, then by all means, make an <h1> tag and say "This violates my own deeply-cherished values", then try to explain why, and try to persuade them to act differently, more like you when you're at your best.
As Malcolm X said, "You've got to show people you have a cleaner glass of water."
When you use bad logic and your imagination to mistakenly imply what someone else means, particularly when you're calling them out personally in a negative way(in this case, by linking to their Twit feed), you're just demonstrating your own lack of comprehension and desire for drama.
When you don't alienate people, you won't have the empty pleasure of the martyr in saying, "Everyone else (the community) is wrong," or the sweet pleasure of reinforcing your negative thinking, BUT people will actually respect your opinion.
