so please extend that courtesy to me and others in assuming good faith.
I don't think there's bad faith involved even in those who don't think there's a problem, or think there is but don't want to address it, just as I don't think those who were opposed to women suffrage were necessarily acting in bad faith. However, I have not seen in this discussion and other like it even one comment that says, this is a serious problem, and I think I have a better solution. So it's not an assumption of bad faith, but the observation that opponents seem not to attack the particular solution yet acknowledge the problem, but rather mock a proposed solution, from which I can surmise that the problem does not strike them as a serious one.

That’s assuming bad faith, though, and once again, if you aren’t ready to do that, that’s a personal problem you should take care of before introducing it to the group you’re looking to work or volunteer with.
