I suspect it's more differing political views than a gender issue. There are plenty of left wing men out there, just not on this board, so somehow conflicts here end up a men versus women situation. I'm sure the guys here would be horrified at the blog entries of one of my favorite authors who is very outspoken in his political views . http://grrm.livejournal.com/

Plus, I think internet/text communication is quite different than in work or face-to-face interactions of daily life.

Very true, but it can come down to a communication problem. For instance,
a man & women can have the same political views, but communicate their
thoughts in different ways.(styles)

I agree with that, and that there are differences in the way men and women communicate. It can take work and learning on the part of both to better understand each other. But sometimes I think it's just a general personality clash more than anything to do with gender.

ETA: I personally wouldn't care for being referred to as part of a 'hen-fest' unless it was meant teasingly. Said seriously, it does seem somewhat condescending to me.
