In reply to the discussion: You wanna see misogyny?! This is misogyny. DU internecine wars notwithstanding [View all]The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)No...there is no communication problem there at all.
"why isnt this in the mens group?" Why doesn't HOF have many posts about History? Seems like many are complaining about DU, like a Meta Lite.
"it has been in GD and sunk."
So has this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024222933
" you know, the men standing up for our boys. "
Again with the 'you men'.
BTW what is up with you women and saying things like "THIS is what feminists are doing. while you men attack us, we stand for women AND our men." Do you mean all feminists? Just the ones in HOF? Are you standing up for them here on DU against the men of DU? Does that video not being posted in some men's group mean they don't care or does it mean those folks are already practicing such things and don't need to go over it?
"look at these boys. look at those faces. listen to what THEY say. why the hell are you and every man not discussing these boys? "
'You women' think we aren't discussing such things because you don't see it here. We don't follow your rules that you make up so suddenly we don't care. Kind of like how you women think when we look at a woman we are undressing her and want sex.
You asked in one of your threads: "men... why the hell are YOU not perpetually outraged."
I don't speak for all men, but I am outraged on many issues: economy, wars, spying, killing people with drones, police brutality, treatment of the poor (men, women, and children btw - I try not to separate them out), slave labor, trade relations with countries from Lethoso to china, a slew of rw bs I encounter each week, and so much more.
I fill a 3 hour radio program a week talking about issues, and am adding a new show at the station in February. I cover up to 40 news stories a week that outrage me. Just because I don't pander to your threads and issues does not mean I don't care - I generally feel that people have special interests that they work on, divide and conquer since we all can't be glued to all the issues at once.
I have spent my time calling police departments, public officials, emailing, interviewing, etc and cover as many as I possibly can (and as far as feminists issues I am sure the group the double clicks will have some to say on that next month when I interview them).
It's phrases like some of those above that put people off from having discussions with some people here on the issues.
It is not that folks don't care, they just don't care to have everything be a misogyny mine field followed by an avalanche of accusations against them when they see things in a different light on some details - even when in the broad sense they absolutely agree with the premise.
