Humanism 101.

2-4

I was juror 6.

At Mon Dec 2, 2013, 02:17 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Indeed. I started this OP in response to this pathetic and wildly popular OP:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4118887

REASON FOR ALERT:

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Clear and obvious call out of another OP and DUer. Could have easily made their point without calling out another poster

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Dec 2, 2013, 02:24 AM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: I'm tired of this silly backstabbing kind of behavior on this forum.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: "disruptive"
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It's not a call out. It's a reference to the context that prompted LA's OP. This alert is, IMO, in bad faith.

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

or socio-economic status.

The source is shown right on the image, it wouldn't kill people to google. Sigh.

And who knew? If you haven't worn it in a year, get rid of it!

It was obvious something was very off about that Facebook image. Sure enough, the Time-Warp Wife *sinned* by having an extra-marital affair, then started a Jesus-y blog.

Pass.

This is where I found it~

Sigh,

Peace~

Please don't repost anti-woman propaganda, even if somebody else on the internet did so first.

Actually, please don't post anything without taking sixty seconds out of your life to google and check it out. That's how we wind up with a site full of fundamentalist glurge memes and known hoaxes and references to dodgy sources.

Seriously?

Not so.

Goodnight, LeftyMom.

you and your Facebook page didn't recognize it for the retro crap that it is, doesn't change the fact that it is retro crap.

They soar!

To lift your wings and fly will never be retro crap....that is part of the message you do not wish to read.

Open your eyes and your heart, LA. It can be illuminating~

I wish you peace and a thanks giving to one and all~

That how they are perceived by anyone is important equally - that men's perceptions have no special value

and silly, UGLY, expensive purses, it would not surprise me at all

I think it's time someone scheduled Skittles for an ASS KICKING!!



I agree with you, btw!

evangelical christian advice.

We agree on something twice in one night.

This is the source.

Her teenage son was walking into displays repeatedly, so she asked him why. Turns out he was staring at the floor so that he wouldn't see any signs relating to the sale of ladies' underpants.

That's a fear of women's bodies and a lack of normal self control that is literally pathological- it's negatively effecting his ability to go about his daily life and routine tasks.

I won't.

I read stories like that and have to wonder what the rest of that young man's life is going to be like.

from a hole in the ground.

It is a fallacy to judge a piece of advice based on the source rather than on its own merits. It is just as wrong to say, "If it is in the Bible it must be true." as it is to say, "If it is in the Bible it must be false."

themselves based on a man's opinion is just wrong wrong wrong.

We need to teach our daughters and sons the difference between flattery and compliments. And that neither matter to their own self worth.

We need to teach our daughters and sons the difference between the value of money and the value of community.

We need to teach our daughters and sons the difference between those who see others as property and those who see others as brothers and sisters.

We need to teach our daughters and sons that lust and love are innate in our species and celebrate both.

We need to teach our daughters and sons that there are human beings that are selfish assholes and run far far away from them.

The fundamentalist agenda is opposed to the rights and freedoms of women. Not really the best people to go to for advice on gender and child rearing.

but I already told you that.

I always loved dating girls who drove a nicer car than I did

madison ave tells us to perceive them.

We need to raise our children to avoid measuring their self-worth based on other people's
perceptions or opinions.

I mean... if we are feminists who are believe that gender should not be an issue.

I have heard this crock before.

Pretending it isn't doesn't help solve the problem. You have to define and feel comfortable to name the disease if you want to find the cure.

The issue of addressing these things often comes down to modes of communication in ways that effective to advance someone's cause and bring positive attention to the problems these issues cause for many people in society.

Once reality has started - within the confines of history and current attitudes and situations this long, long history for these issues - it's impossible to "start at even" within the parameters of society as it is currently constructed.

If more than one of those issues pertains to a person, this reality compounds problems, often, and sometimes puts allies in positions where they feel at odds.

There are always people within various groups who are able to overcome tremendous constraints and achieve goals - but, just as in "elite theory" in politics, as far as a ruling class versus everyone else goes - those few provide the release of pressure about issues in society without actually addressing them. Occasionally there's a MLK or Ghandi or Friedan who helps promote broad changes and provide leadership that others coalesce around - but they're rare.

It's positive that some are able to rise above their societies to create their own versions of life. They provide good role models and hope - but they don't provide the infrastructure, often, that would really provide large-scale "social mobility" within our society to create lives with more hope and opportunity for more people and less classism, racism and gender-related issues.

How to effectively approach the issues is key to helping others understand one group or another.
