on DU. As if MRA has some legitimate purpose here on DU. I'm talking about MRA's who blame feminism for their issues. You know the ones who don't want to move past the early 50's?

They don't want to hear feminist concerns and we are just right wingers here to divide and conquer democrats. Keep feminism in a box. LOL

Well, it's a new one... when will we see the last, I don't friggin know.

Look how few posters of color participate on this site. There is a reason for it.

on a left-leaning website no less. I feel like I'm banging my head against a goddamn cement wall when I go round and round with some of these folks.

The number one lesson I took away from the rape porn threads is that people don't read or process what you write. If they don't want to think about an issue differently, they will refuse to do so at all costs.
