I know I've only been here since November but I've never seen anyone say "all men are rapists"

89. This is not an argument

nor is it private. On the contrary, I want this discussion to be visible to all.

Bettyellen stated: "Then they trot out some puppet women who will agree with every hateful thing they say about feminists, and say "See, even women disagree with you"."

I, among others, have asked her to back up that statement with some facts. As you can see by our exchange, she skirts the issue, attempts to change the subject, etc.

Rather than simply acknowledge that there are women posters here who strongly disagree with her (and her colleagues') 'brand' of feminism, she instead resorts to stating that we women who disagree with that 'brand' are "puppet women" being manipulated by 'them' (men).

That is not only a lie, it is an insult to the many, many, women on DU who have continually come forward to dispute the skewed notion of 'feminism' being advanced by a certain contingent here.
And their response to that dispute is to now simply label all of us who disagree with them as being "puppets" as opposed to simply being feminists who speak our mind, and strenuously oppose their view of things.

If Bettyellen, or any other women of 'the contingent', have any FACTS to support the "puppet women" assertion, I invite them to post those FACTS here.
