women's issues have no place on a democratic board, or something like that ) but I might be wrong.

something to do with women, and when it got to hot of a topic that they couldn't squelch, they wanted it banned from GD.

But yeah, the more they see they can't win the 'argument' when we talk about the issues, the less interested they are in having them around. It's kind of sad.

Maybe it was rape culture again? Or talk about the wage gap? I think it was something like that.

...No wait! It was talk about the rapes in India! They were saying we were "attacking all men" because we discussed the male gaze.

It's frustrating that they think feminist issues should be segregated so they don't have to look at it, though.

I voted it shouldn't be discussed in GD because I personally don't want to read more about it, and after I thought about it, realized that didn't mean nobody should discuss it. So I un-voted.

I can use keyword hide if I want.

The original posts were interesting to know about, but the disgusting "discussions" that goes with those threads is just not what I want to waste my time reading. I skip over them now.

equivalent or I do not know the correct terminology. Otherwise, I am clumsy in my phraseology.
