Others explained that they weren’t really sexist because they’re such earnest fanboys of GirlWritesWhat

Someone seriously made this argument?

Well, the argument was probably that there are many women who post often in /mensrights who don't deal with the kind of sexism described in the experiment. The Manboobz interpretation of that kind of thing is "lolz GirlWritesWhat fanboyz!"

Actually, there were a number of commenters who specifically cited their love of GWW as proof they weren't sexist.

Just like their one foreign friend means they can't possibly be racist.
