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

211. Its not that simple. You cannot define acceptable behavior and responses for people

This is the "Shut the fuck up and listen approach" (listen), or "Shut the fuck up and shut the fuck up" (ignore).

My first run in with this group was ugly. I never noticed them before that. I never forgot them after. The tactics and bullying were unacceptable in my opinion. My choice was to either say nothing, or ignore it? What about new DUers subject to that sort of abuse? What about the real world, where people are subjected to bullying or prejudice? The only choice is to listen to it or walk away? We are all just supposed to accept bullying because you have a bad day or a bad life (due to things largely out of our control that we all fight against anyway)?

This entire OP is telling people to either agree with bullying, sexism and generalization (from this very group) or ignore it and let others bear the brunt selectively until they ignore it or leave DU. That is how you let rot fester in a community.

Not going to happen. You want to make generalizations, say prejudice things and bully people? You will be challenged.

You want to discuss gender issues in a rational, reasonable manner to educate and reach consensus? Cool

Now I imagine you are going to respond with something hateful about a man telling you how you are allowed to proceed. Fine. Whatever. I heard the witty retort already. You can respond anyway you want. But you won't always be taken seriously. Clearly, we all don't communicate with the intent of becoming jokes I would imagine.
