10. Oh... It Was A Dick Move, To Be Sure... And I'll Gladly Own It... But It's...

One that got you here. (Thanks for the kick.)

Unlike here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022594883

Those 12, 15, 21 threads for the last two to three weeks/months/years, with the hundreds of Recs, and THOUSANDS of Views... generate a whole hell of a lot of heat... without much light.

They tend to retrench BOTH men and women, who fall on both/many sides of the issue, convincing no-one of nothing. While all the time sucking the oxygen out of GD.

And it puts an IMPORTANT CAUSE in the inevitable mocking position of the Breast-Feeding, Circumcised, Pitt-Bulls at Olive Garden variety.

I do not think that you, or I, want that... because sexism is way too important to be mocked, but there are time when this site contributes to the desire TO mock.

So... as the local food-fight ensues, that story mentioned above gets totally ignored.
