Men's Group

2015-04-02T2:19:24+00:00

" any advantages women have over men at this point(if they actually exist) they are owed " - So much for seeking equality. This is exactly what I've come to expect from some of the self-proclaimed feminists here. This mentality is literally what caused me to cease being a feminist. Constant bad-mouthing of the men's group and men in general, little to no actual conversation when a disagreement is had... just a pointing of fingers and comments equating fellow progressives with the KKK or Nazis or whatever other method is handy to demonize with. Particularly if a valid point is brought up. Equality means equality for everyone, and not just when its convenient. Full disclosure: I was censored over a post. What follows are the comments made against my post. Legal Rights Women Have That Men Dont http://www.democraticunderground.com/111415030 REASON FOR ALERT This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. ALERTER'S COMMENTS Copied from someone who hadn't even seen this post (to be clear, I am not them--they don't deserve more flak from the misogynists on this site): "Imagine posts like this: Rights blacks have that whites don't; or rights LGBT have that straights don't. They would be awful, extreme right-wing hate speech, which is precisely what the same argument about women having more rights that men is. They are the equivalent to the KKK and Mike Pence, and should be seen as exactly that. There is nothing liberal, left, moderate, or acceptable about such ideas and they don't belong anywhere on a site for Democrats." JURY RESULTS A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Apr 1, 2015, 03:41 PM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT. Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT Explanation: No explanation given Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT Explanation: I don't know why people feel this kind of garbage is appropriate ... why do we consistently have to accept bigotted posts. the answer: we don't as jurors this site is what we make it Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: People are so afraid to discuss. DU shouldn't have sacred cows. Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: If this was in GD you would have a point alerter, but as it is in a group that is focused on issues pertaining to men I believe it is legitimate discussion. I may not agree with it, but in the context of the group it's posted in it's at least in the right place for debate. Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT Explanation: No explanation given Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT Explanation: I am dumber for having read these. Most of it is bullshit, and any advantages women have over men at this point(if they actually exist) they are owed for putting up with centuries of being treated like second class citizens. Or is this some April Fools thing? Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: I agree that it is annoying, but say so in a response and say what you say here. It does not attack anyone else on DU.

Glad your constant parade of bigotry was hidden. Go ahead and block me from this group if you wish. I'm not really too worried about it.
