Do you think the purpose of feminist theory

You and I are both smarter than that.

I do understand that you speak out against the patriarchy, but the opposite shouldn't be some bizarre form of matriarchy from a small and vocal group of women on DU who decide to go after other women that might disagree with the way they deliver the message. There are places I choose not to post on DU -- you response to me is exactly why I don't post in some groups.

Yes, the way the message is delivered by a few on DU is a problem for myself. Yes, you lectured me. You chose to come after me for agreeing with someone else that I suspect you don't agree with. You came after me. Had I chosen to respond to you directly here in this thread, I would have. I didn't.

I suspect you might not like reading these words, but they are mine. There is a lot of talk about patriarchy in society on DU -- in the recent past said patriarchy has been directed at the members of DU. That is where I take issue.

I believe patriarchy should be discussed. That said, there are ways to deliver the message that might not alienate people, especially here on this board, and especially here in GD. Sometimes I think the sexism is just as bad as some matriarchy I see here. Women who deem to speak on behalf of all women on DU -- they are the ones who refuse to accept that perhaps people might not agree with the MESSAGE DELIVERY.

I suspect I shall be further reprimanded and scolded -- and given snark or whatever idiotic method of shaming for not agreeing with your presentation. So be it.
