[The Straight Story]

200. You say "it is men, reminding men, all the time. "

And then some other things which I am not sure what they mean like:

"saying, dude. address the people that are actually doing it."

Sea - as much as I might battle with you on here, I do care about you and yours. Us 'men' here on DU *DO* care about the rights of women and many others.

I preach it all the time - from your body your choice to posting the stories I do.

And yet, somehow, I and others keep being the enemy here.

You and others have hijacked the conversation to be about you personally and what you have went through and you ignore all the other women out there.

And men. I was raped as a child. From the time I was 8 years old for many years.

I have many reasons to be angry and upset. And I am. But not at people here who had nothing to do with it.

I don't think someone making some sexual joke about a dongle are somehow out to get me, don't care, etc.

I get that what may be funny to others may not be to me. When my mom died I could not watch any show that had anything to do with death in it - and was shocked about how many had such topics as their main themes.

Here on DU there are so many open and honest liberal people who care about the issues and we get our asses handed to us by a few.

You don't have to stay here. Neither do I. If you really believe the men, and often women, here don't care about sexism why not go somewhere else?
