(48,121 posts)"Someone is always upset over feminism, feminism by its nature of activism and challenges of society, HAS to upset people. One gets used to it. People have died over it. We still change the world. "
So that 'someone' is 'always' people here at DU?
You think you are challenging society but the only ones being challenged are here on DU - the very people who are on your side about the topic.
You don't change the world by condemning the very people on your side trying to help with the issue. If your idea of changing the world is yelling about people here and not being pure enough. You need to get out more.
One way you could help is by exposing the problems we all face - whether it be men, women, children - the people most held down and oppressed by those in power.
But instead it comes down to how bad DU'ers are over dongles, ford ads, jokes, etc and so on and instead of spending hours a day researching news stories that affect all such groups you spend time on how some here on your side don't fully agree with you.
Those who say they are spending the most time focusing on feminism and say they care about it are not spending their time on real issues regarding feminist issues, they are spending their time on this message board attacking the people who are on their side trying to help them.
From protecting your body and your choice, to exposing things like recent legislation in Alaska and other places - those in HOF don't care. Show me some recent posts over the last few months by this group of feminists exposing the problems out there that women have to face versus how many posts they have made over things like dongles, doors, etc.
Get over it. Us 'men' here care about the same issues you do. Where have any of you been on subjects that affect women elsewhere in the world (other then chiming in when it comes to women showing their breasts)?
I want equality for all. I want us, we the people, to have more power and that women are not just some byproduct of a group of religious nutjobs. But here I am, and other people here, being seen as the enemy.
The men of DU are the problem - and if you don't believe that, spend some time in HOF where they discuss the people here more than they ever have the actual History of Feminism.
