You wanna see misogyny?! This is misogyny. DU internecine wars notwithstanding

117. And let me be honest with you, PW. And in a way that could be helpful.

Quite frankly, the tone of your post title comes across in a determinedly antagonist way. For instance, would you title a post about racism to people of color: You Wanna see Racism?! This is Racism!" or a post about homophobia to the LGBT community: "You Wanna see Homophobia? This is homophobia!" Ask yourself, would you do that? If you presented the material by saying something like "Great video on Media Matters on sexism" you'd get a lot of positive feedback, thanking you for sharing.

Further, you compound the problem with the dismissive tone in "I'm not going to read through your long...." and suggests you are simply not going to listen to any ideas you don't agree with. OUCH! What a way to confirm a stereotype you deplore!

Try to listen more to those who take the time to outline the issues they have, esp. ones that go to great lengths to be specific. It doesn't mean you have to agree them or that you can't respond. You most certainly can and phrase it "I can't agree with what you say and here's why."

Also, ASK QUESTIONS, but always in a respectful tone of voice. Nobody is saying you can't. But here's the thing: ask them honestly and not with a sneer. Say things like "Tell me more about why you think such and such..." Or "Can you get me more information on such and such? I am not understanding your argument as phrased."

I think these suggestions will go a long way to establish both your bona fides and a tone of respect for others you do not agree with and set an example.
