There are 'more open' discussions about these sort of subjects on those sort of forums particularly because of the types of disaffected and angered people they attract. These are, generally, people who go in with a mindset, on either side, and the energy and wherewithal to confront the issues they choose to focus on.
This, is ostensibly a one-time design forum with a random catchment of peoples and types from all over, who aren't looking for those kind of confrontations. So, not great for the dialogue you seek.
Laterally, however, I'd argue the people here are more grounded and less inclined to simply see a subject from their polarised preconceptions and held-convictions, and are more likely to be found in societies with balance and able to see that the weight and threat that discrimination elements pose isn't anywhere near as overt as you appear to think.
I've lived in three countries, and currently live in a 'world capital' where we have millions of all-sorts, and of all the forces in the world, one of the least I am appalled or concerned by are militant feminists.
