(20,599 posts)and they are the most sexist people on DU. I have never seen sexism against either gender like what they've displayed against men in the past few weeks.
I'm trying to stop them, but I need help. Their key failing, where they are weakest, lies in those of us men who do not treat women they way they imagine men must, who were not raised to see women as objects to be used (as one of them bitterly wept just yesterday), and who do not fantasize about ravishing every woman they lay their eyes on. A particular weakness in that regard lies in gay men, who by definition do not see women as sexual objects to be exploited (a mention of gay men nearly always ends their arguments, because it shatters all their gender-biased assumptions regarding 'typical male' behavior).
Their hypocrisy regarding sexual issues is another weak point. In nearly every argument, they openly and shamelessly display the very same sexism against men that they shrilly screech about seeing against women ("We are men, hear us roars", said one, on this very thread). How they are able to get away with using open misandry while at the very selfsame time pissing and moaning about perceived misogyny- apparently rampant on DU, but which few if any others actually see being posted- is a mystery to me, but their level of hypocrisy and broadly-applied gender bias needs to be addressed.
Witness what happened when someone asked, "If you videotape yourself and nobody sees it is it still porn?"

They're shameless, absolutely shameless, and shrilly misandrist even when presented with reasoned arguments.
