If only a handful of feminists are responsible for all that ails DU

111. That may be true sometimes

We all have our unique reactions to others. I do notice a relatively small group of posters that appear heavily invested in denying that sexism exists or that women are negatively impacted by it ... regardless of who says it or how they say it.

In truth there is also a cadre of posters that deny that racism exists as well ... I don't know if there is overlap in these groups. Additionally, (it has been some time) there was a group, years ago, that appeared to have a blatant homophobic agenda at worst and were absolute deniers of bias and abuse against the LGBT community. I see many of the same tactics and attitudes directed toward "feminist posters"

My hope is that posters would seek to enrich themselves from the viewpoints of others. I have no first hand knowledge of what it can be like to be a black man in the US ... but, I am capable of understanding how prolific racism remains.
