(48,121 posts)Always trying to demean them and show they are wrong and ignorant and you are right and know better than them.
We are never pure enough - and if you want to understand why people get snarky take a step back and look at how you engage others.
You ride feminism like a bull through a china shop here smashing everything in your path and ridiculing nearly every person you can on the subject outside your own little echo chamber (or bubble in reference to last election).
When folks post ops about blatant sexism, I did twice today, you don't utter a peep because they didn't do something to outrage you enough or if you do chime in it is about how people here probably endorse it and don't care and want to keep women down.
Instead of bringing allies to your cause you alienate people to the point they don't even want to talk about it because you will berate them.
Everyone but you and a few here are sexist it seems and want to keep women down - always on the attack when the very people you are spending a ton of energy attacking are on the same side but never in a way good enough for you.
I don't want to talk about sexism ever here. Because no matter how one tries to discuss it you and some others will shred them and try to tell them they suck and only you get it and know and understand it.
You hurt the cause on DU more than you will ever help it by lashing out all the time at progressive folks the way you do.
