When men call themselves "sex-positive feminists"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/125542248

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This post is sexist since it implicitly relies on the fallacy that men are always sex positive.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 20, 2014, 07:27 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It could be sexist, but little commentary is provided to determine that.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Misandry
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not enough content or context here to warrant a Hide. Vote to Leave.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It pointed says when men call themselves sex positive, not that all men are. The alert comment is incorrect.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Wow... that's the most absurd alert I've seen to date. The harder the alert-er tries to look clever, the more he comes off as, well... just slow. Bless his little heart.

Men without shirts were banned from the beaches in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the reason being that the city didn’t want “gorillas on our beaches.” Only in 1937 did men actually have the right to go topless with their swimming trunks.

See, they were oppressed, too!

Not to mention "sex-positive"/"sex-negative" is a false dichotomy anyway. You can like sex, and even consider it a fundamentally good thing, while still noting other people's (or even your own) problematic attitudes toward it.
