People post images, articles, studies, etc. to counter RW talking points here all the time.

[The Straight Story]

18. People post stories about women who commit crimes here all the time as well

Why do some folks think it is because folks want to stir up trouble or make women look bad?

Are there any other issues where it will be implied that since everyone agrees that the RW talking points are wrong, that it shouldn't be posted?

Would it make a difference if there were? More to the point - it might just be because of WHO is posting it...so in comes the question of motive (which, btw, circles back to the first sentence in this reply).

Since there is a group to post such items in and it is generally assumed that posters here are liberal and have the same core ideals (equality and so on) and given that the folks usually posting such things feel that DU is filled with misogynistic men (and women who are our cohorts "As always, it's good to see the boys show up to defend their right to jack off to anything, no matter how awful. And their little group of female cohorts, eager to get that pat on the head from the guys. I wonder if these dudes have ANY idea how they come across? It's a sad and pathetic picture that they paint, and I doubt they have any idea they're doing it." http://www.democraticunderground.com/125530116#post10 ) it is no shock that sometimes such posts are met with questions.

My reasoning for posting things get questions here and there. Folks inquire about intent - even though the article might be benign or just plain interesting (I do a 3 hour radio show a week and post other places, like reddit politics/news/world, my own forums, etc and I come across a slew of stories from all over the world I post).

They don't question the information/story itself, but my motives for posting it.

The same applies here. And since, as can seen from the first link, it is wholly acceptable to question such motives elsewhere I am not sure why one would be surprised when the same ideals are echoed back. I am not overly shocked when people questions my motives, and I certainly don't think some others should be either.
