Don't we have forums and groups for all of these?

[MadHound]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by EarlG (a host of the General Discussion forum).

The multiple threads on benevolent sexism, the multiple threads in reaction to those other threads. It's bad enough that gun threads have been let out of gungeon for so long, do we really need multiple flamewars going on in GD over gender issues?

1. this is "general discusssion", correct?

[michigandem58]

2. How about an anti-Obama rant forum?

Wouldn't mind seeing those coralled.

3. All positive posts about Obama go to the BOG.

All post about E Warren go to the E Warren group.
All post having anything to do with LGBT go to the LGBT group.

General discussion is here for a reason. And talking about misogyny and sexism does not need to be relegated to the feminism forums as you request.

"It's bad enough that gun threads have been let out of gungeon for so long"

Please finish that statement about the sexism and misogyny education threads. Seems it was right on the tip of your tongue.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!

11. Sounds good to me. nt

[redqueen]

12. I see you like the Guns & RKBA group.

What are your thoughts about gun control?

[oldhippie]

14. I see you like sexism ....

You sure talk about it a lot.

[redqueen]

15. Yep, I figured you'd dodge that question. nt

[Quantess]

17. I am not seeing that attitude in this OP.

Are you not seeing the same redundant "hold the door open for a woman", "take my hat off when addressing a woman" threads, ad nauseum, that the rest of us are?

[Luminous Animal]

19. I see them. What forum or group do you think they belong in?

[Quantess]

20. Unfortunately the OPs probably are in the right forum.

I meant unfortunately, because the topic has long ago reached silliness and has wasted space in GD. But anyway, that wasn't my point.

If you care to go back and check which post I was responding to, you will see that what I wrote to redqueen was more about, I am NOT seeing a childish aversion to discussing sexism in this OP.

[Posteritatis]

4. Ah, another "GD is only for topics I want to see" OP. (nt)

[snooper2]

5. It'll be over in 36 or 48 hours, don't fret....that is until....

Somebody catches some video of Barack opening the door for Michelle

[quinnox]

6. lol, well, looks like some former meta frequent posters have gotten bored

without meta, and finally unleashed their threads on general discussion instead.

[Luminous Animal]

13. You said it. All these OPs about opening doors are stealth meta...

I'll stick to the TWO substantive threads about benevolent sexism. Too bad, though, that they are cluttered with the misdirection of door opening. It reminds me of the discussions I used to have about the Equal Rights Amendment... somehow it would end up being a discussion about the scary prospect of unisex bathrooms.

8. For those who don't care, there is hide thread.

Looks like understanding benevolent sexism's relevance in rape culture isn't the only thing people are having a hard time with!

[99Forever]

9. Correct.

I happily make use of it.

[fishwax]

10. we do have groups for them, yes--but they are also fit for general discussion

Hide thread works well--you can even hide by keyword now.

[MineralMan]

18. We discuss almost everything in GD.

Threads you don't like can be trashed or simply not opened. That the threads have lots of replies indicates that they are of interest to at least some DUers. I dunno, but "General" is a pretty broad category, it seems to me.
