The Earth-Minbari war was caused by people being considerate to women. This viewpoint was put forward by Andrew Suffield in this post during a discussion on Debian IRC sexism. Apparently men on IRC saying "show us your tits" is basically like having your spaceship gunports open as a sign of warrior respect. Sources:

- The Earth-Minbari War began in 2245 when an Earthforce expeditionary fleet destroyed and heavily damaged other supporting vessels in the Grey Council's fleet, killing the Minbari leader Dukhat. The Human fleet commander misinterpreted the Minbari warrior caste's tradition of approaching a ship with gun ports open as hostile action and fired on the Minbari vessels without provocation, from the Minbari's point of view.

| abstract
| - The Earth-Minbari War began in 2245 when an Earthforce expeditionary fleet destroyed and heavily damaged other supporting vessels in the Grey Council's fleet, killing the Minbari leader Dukhat. The Human fleet commander misinterpreted the Minbari warrior caste's tradition of approaching a ship with gun ports open as hostile action and fired on the Minbari vessels without provocation, from the Minbari's point of view. The war lasted for three years with Earth outmatched by an enemy driven with a relentless genocidal zeal and ended with the unexpected Minbari surrender at the Battle of the Line. Earth made the Minbari fight for every inch of space, and the Minbari inflicted many losses in the three years of bloody conflict.
