Yes, Ran's boar has always had a lot of sexism despite the fact it's got a very significant female presence. It's really annoying.
I think in this case it's part of the fact it's always been very wanky overall politically. (I can't believe it's never been F_Wanked) There's always some very wacky, rude and completly outrageous discussion somewhere, even though there's also a lot of intelligent, sane and fun people ^^
But you're right about the archetypal "who'd win in a fight" threads vs. the shippy ones. There's also the fact fanfics were banned away from it very early on (thanks to GRRM's himself, I guess, but still).
Urgh on that thread. I can believe it's a woman, some women are too often using sexist tropes themselves. I think Sansa's wedding was, to me, the most traumatic reading of the whole series (!!!) so you can imagine how relieved i was Tyrion didn't have sex with her. I like Tyrion, but Sansa.... well. That'd been the most horrible kind of rape.
