I haven't read all the responses, but I'd just like to throw it out there that I'm a female language learner. I didn't even know there was a way to tell what gender the posters were...unless you just asked them.

Dear Kenski, first of all, thank you for increasing my Russian vocabulary! That is always appreciated. The reason no one tried to actually argue with you was that:
1) You were wildly off topic. 2) I've never been to Ukraine, so I know very little about how people act, behave and think over there, but your arguments had kind of the same authority for (at least) us silly northerners as going "White people are smart, black people are stupid". That means that what you said was just TOO stupid, too outrageous, for anyone to want to reply to it. There is that old saying, "argue with a...", but I won't go there, cause my intellectual mother actually succeeded in bringing me up to be somewhat polite :) And finally, seen the delightful insults our sweet Kenski throws at us helpless ladies, shouldn't this warrant a ban on the guy? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Kenski, I can understand about 5% of your post.
“Take the banner? “ I don’t understand it, or the Russian (I can’t speak it). Fatter chances in a village: I haven’t an idea what’s it.
I don’t understand.
You hit women? In Belgium this is a crime.
What’s it mean?
Yes it was clear that it was a mistake and it must be “be” and therefore you told that the men are intellectual but the women not. Therefore as well I asked if you’re intellectual (in your opinion) you aren’t at all in my opinion, but nasty and sexist, also violent.
I don’t understand. You’re in such a rage but if you were a women you wouldn’t be in a rage? Maybe xanax can help you.
There’s much paedophilia in Russia? I don’t understand this paragraph.
“My European men”? who are those? I don’t know a person who gave some money to some Russians. Why my responsibility? I haven’t nothing to see with those things, I don’t know as well which things you refer. What’s “babs”? Which men ? I didn’t henpeck a person. I think that you are absolutely muddle up. It’s possible you write a different person, not me because truly I don’t understand your post at all. I don’t reply you more. Bye. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

In my opinion this forum ban the people who love the languages but don't ban the nasty ones. What a pity. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

For what its worth, I don't think Kenski is nasty. Unlike most people in this thread, Kenski probably wasn't exposed to feminist thinking, so I don't know how fair it is to think of him as some kind of chauvinist. His views are quite mainstream in his cultural context, - in fact, I doubt that most his views are any diffrent from many, if not most people, in his country (except for hitting women - I think he may have been joking about that). The only reason you haven't heard from people like him more is because very few people in his country (and countries where people share a lot of his values) learn English well enough to be able to express his ideas on a forum like this one. Given all that, I don't think calling him names, telling him to shut up or requesting to ban him is a constructive way to handle it.
"Флаг тебе в руки" -literally smth. like "Take the banner"- is a Russian idiom, a sarcastic remark that means something like "good luck with that". Kenski has mistakenly thought it could be translated literally. As for the fatter chance in a smaller village - even I don't know what that means.
