Actually, I think that the issue should be discussed while there's attention and interest focused on it. Much like I thought the gun control debate should have happened when it was on everyone's minds, I think that an issue as important as sexism should be addressed when it is in front of the whole community.
Totally agree. That said, it's a sad irony that this debate will probably resurface with the next incident within a month, much like the frequency of mass-shootings in the USA.
There _has_ been tons of debate - loads of comment here and on Reddit - if you're starting another thread for karma, shame on you.
A lot of people lost their tempers over the last few days, and angry people are not good at rational discussion. It's a good question but I also think you'll get better answers after people's blood pressure has returned to normal. But I know you were looking for women's opinions so I'll bow out at this point.
