What we're really talking about, and people are outraged by, is all the distractions perpetrated on the public by Big Media. On DU we don't need the distraction of language that disrespects women. It's difficult for some men to get the concept-- yet they know better than to use racist language that will get yanked by the mods in a flash.

The DU Rules are clear on what is allowed and what isn't. Violators disrupt the process, where people like us, who may be quite different, can communicate with each other about common concerns.

Yet sexist shite shows up all the time. We're sick of it. IT'S UNAVOIDABLE. People leave because of it. Which is why I focused comment on recent recurrence of NEW flippant, put-downs of women.

It seems Big Media concocted this "controversy" over its own coverage of Very Special Victims to distract from the recent actual controversies that reached mainstream public awareness (finally):

Media complicity in catapulting Bushco's lies and bogus war coverage

Media complicity in burying the Downing Street Minutes story and coverage of the Conyer's Basement Hearing

Public disgust over media complicity in the Repug exploitation of Terri Schiavo (another Very Special Victim)

Release of the McCain report on the bogus Ohio election, which Big Media participated in perpetrating on the U.S.

Media reports of Bush poll numbers in the crapper and admissions that Bushwar II is "unwinnable."

And what else? Another Very Special Victim oversaturated coverage and reports about how the coverage is oversaturated.
