(27,670 posts)for her/him to assume that everyone else reading DU understands the issue. Therefore, the subject matter of the post might be beneficial to other individuals, and subsequently beneficial to the group as well.
So why would an individual poster who claims to understand the issue so thoroughly that they don't want/need to hear anymore about it go totally aggro on you about your post if it might be constructive knowledge for others?
From my POV, this type of irrational behavior would usually indicate unresolved personal issues with the subject matter of your post, and that this type of aggro reaction may even be an indication of latent misogyny, a form of denial manifesting in the irrational reaction to your post.
It's often difficult to pinpoint the motivations behind irrational behavior.
Also, it may be in part that you are continually chipping away at the wall of patriarchy by posting here about different issues, some obvious, some not so obvious, that most women are aware of because we are victimized by them as a historical and current subject minority group. But some men, because they comprise the long standing dominant majority, may be partly or completely clueless about these issues, because they do not cause them harm or slight. In fact, these issues often are supports for their position, and you may be challenging dearly held beliefs that the holders of these beliefs don't want challenged either consciously or subconsciously.
Hence, a multiple whammy for you personally. Some are already obviously already angry with you because of your persistence in bringing up these issues which cause them discomfort, as described above. So when you bring up one more issue that makes these folks uncomfortable, it intensifies the irrational reaction, hence the WTF!1! STFU1!1! Make it stop! Pleeeeze, make it stop!!!
Just some possibilities...*sigh*...your guess is as good as mine.
