When you say you think your comment was deleted because it was "just politically incorrect", can I assume you are using the term in its usual pejorative sense?  

If so, what do you make of the fact that my last reply to you was rejected?   When I realized it, all I did was change the last sentence from "Sure." to "Seems self-defeating, but it's up to you." and it made it through minutes later.  As it should have.

Point is, the peer-review system allows rejection of comments by people who disagree with you.  Most of those Globe readers (or at least the ones who comment on anything vaguely feminist) are 'agin it.' But not, I guess, all of them. 

I think we agree it's a problem, but don't think for a minute that it has anything to do with "political correctness."
