sexism, lets play.

[The Straight Story]

91. Hope I would learn something?

"like maybe not doing it again"?

Where is your concern when it comes to the person I was talking about and their attacks here on DU?

Do you think I posted what I did out of the blue for no reason? How many others, thread after thread here and previously in Meta, said basically the same thing?

You have a lot of good folks here concerned about issues like feminism and would be more than happy to have discussions about it but they get ran roughshod over and over time and again by a few and told they are basically sexist and equated with abusers and the rw.

I and others are a little sick of it and will call it out when we see it. We want to be able to have adult discussions on an issue and time and again get spammed by a few telling us we all suck and have no idea what we are talking about.

I have learned something - that the discussion here on DU is less about the subject some say they want to discuss and more about fellow progressives not being pure enough. Constant questioning of motives, telling men they are bad and don't care about women or women's rights when they actually do.

We may not agree on some finer points, but that does not make us misogynist jackholes who want to keep women down. It is possible to not agree and not be haters. But you would not know that from some posters.

One would think coming here to DU that all us progressives on the board are a bunch of women haters who just want women to stay in the kitchen - and yet many on this board care deeply about the subject and want to work together. Yet a few want to divide us and focus on us more than the issues.

And I have also learned that there are others who want to continue to keep DU divided into men and women and drive a wedge between us because they care more about complaining about each other than finding solutions.
