So you are declaring a win and going home?

You know I keep posting that women are people too and we all are deserving of the same Equal Rights. But somehow that keeps getting ignored for finding or twisting or assuming something not said or in evidence to use against a rather thoughful segment of DU anyway.
If you would stop making enemies, you might find you would have more friends. Your views are not the only views around, not by a long shot.
It is easier to get what you want by flattering people and being polite to them than by making demands. You only attract flies and disease with bullshit. But people respond to you in kind. That might be why your world is so dark and foreboding. Or at least it would seem so from reading you posts.

Censorship: A refusal to face reality.

Trying to force one's thoughts, feelings, or urges on others, while in denial regarding one's own disposition.
Censors often do not fully understand the situation they are trying to ban. Often contributing their own faulty interruption to words, pictures, events, etc. Few things are truly black and white, as the article in the OP shows.

"Save the children", is often the battle cry of the censor. Sorry, I can deal with the information my own children are exposed to, better than you. I don't need some censor's own hysteria in trying to dumb down the world around them, to save my kids from the reality of world that they will have to live in and cope with as adults. That is my job as their parent.
