I find both equally uninteresting. ;)
Lol. They're hardly the most interesting kind of disucssions, but they have a sort of guilty pleasure aspect to them. It's a very social kind of pleasure to. About aknowledging kinship in the way you deal with stuff, and various tastes. A bit like "what singers/bands do you like" discussions.

As for sexism... there is some on the book forums, yes, but it certainly doesn't usually come from the same people who express some of the rather distasteful political views that you get on General Chatter
Hum interesting, it's true, I haven't been around the book forum in a while either...
On the other hand, I would assume that most people who end up on General Chatter did start at the Book forum in the first place, so maybe there is some kind of continuity?

they find characters like Sansa, Dany and Cat boring and are unable or unwilling to relate to them.
How lucky to be female and wholly bitextual, able to relate to both womena and men's PoV :p

Often this comes from what you might term 'internalised prejudice': the worst kind, in my opinion.
Total agreement there. It's a typical strategy for people coming from discriminated/opressed group but it's one of the worst thing to have to struggle against.

*shudders too*
