History of Feminism
Related: About this forumHey "Team"
It's all our fault. We're all collectively duplicitous and responsible for all the sexism on DU. If one member in here posts something, the rest of you bear responsibility. The fierce emphasis on individual rights stops at the doors of HOF. We're just one amalgamation of misandrist feminazi.

(14,531 posts)Just today my ears were ringing. Sure enough I looked and a woman posted on DU.
Now if you all will just absorb the calories from the cookie I am eating so I can enjoy it more. I would appreciate that very much, thank you.

This has been a long month, truly. Today I was told the correct balance of hormones makes one sexist (or "normal" by his standard) by the reputable source of the publisher of Better Homes and Garden.

(6,278 posts)I am ready to leave DU, have not renewed my star status, it is really an outrage what these creeps post.
My responses are so emotional, whereas what you all post is so well thought out and downright eloquent.
Thank you!

(53,032 posts)I didn't delete my last shit storm of a thread only because I knew I'd hear about it forever if I did.

(41,980 posts)Imagine my surprise to see that thing with 266 replies. It was a half joke in response to a flame bait thread and like I said somewhere in there--really a non sequitur apropos to nothing at all. How it was interpreted was fascinating.

(53,032 posts)by using the word "he." The obsessive literalism is hysterical. Did anyone actually think either of those people really posted on DU?
ismnotwasm
(41,980 posts)I'm not sure what to think; it went that that word game kids play you say a word, pass the word to the next person, that person passes to the next person and so on-- until the word loses it's meaning.
Then it ran all over the map. It really was funny as hell, but started to be too bitter for my tastes fairly early on. I even tried to lighten it up a time or two. Then I figured fuck it, and went and sat in the hot tub and reread most of "DonnerJack"-- an old sci-fi favorite.
I really only meant to have a bit of a lark with it.

(41,980 posts)As you know I don't make those forays into GD very often. I love discussions, but ones that are at least semi-informed, and not ones where weird accusations are either made up or completely misinterpreted, or snarky insinuations that add nothing but ill will.

(22,434 posts)If you came home unexpectedly, and found your boyfriend masturbating to rape porn
or "depictions" of statutory rape or child abuse, even if it was anime, would you continue in the relationship?
At the bottom, they are reacting to the fact that we DO judge, and that not many women
would put up with that type of behavior, IRL.
BainsBane
(53,032 posts)because that's a no starter for all but a tiny minority. They are not going to admit to that on here anyway.
PassingFair
(22,434 posts)They make their argument over "depictions".
BainsBane
(53,032 posts)whereas rape porn uses adults. With children, there is no such thing as depiction because they can't consent. Including that would throw off the poll results.
As for me, if I saw a guy watching rape porn, I would assume he was a rapist or wannabe rapist and would want nothing to do with him. Obviously only pedophiles watch child porn.

(53,032 posts)You could call it barely legal porn and anime that depicts boys and girls.

(53,032 posts)We've all had our time there. I find it amazing and how people who throw so many insults themselves are sanctimonious about your post. It's utter and complete hypocrisy and yet another effort to attack feminists. That they want the country to go back to the mid-20th century is their problem.
Tuesday Afternoon
(56,912 posts)but, like a phoenix I will Rise Up and Soar.
I really do not see the country going back.
I feel a change coming on.
People are moving on and they will be left behind which is fine. That is their path to follow but, it doesn't have to be ours.
BainsBane
(53,032 posts)and they will continue to complain about how exploited men are. It's the result of psychological issues they project on to society and try to make a political cause out of, but it reality it's just plain pathetic.
