Why is DU in a gender war anyway?

[Captain Stern]

66. There's a "gender war" on here because of OP's like this.

There are lots of threads started up on here about specific gender-related issues that when looked at in isolation appear to be innocent thread starts where the OP is just asking a question, or making a positive statement. But when the OP is examined related to other recent threads..not so much. Some folks don't feel like their message is getting paid enough attention to in ongoing threads, so they start up new threads about the exact same shit...with their point of view (that didn't get paid enough attention to the first five times in other threads) as the subject.

My question: All of these threads are directly related. Why can't all of the posts about that stuff stay in one thread? If you post a response in that thread, and nobody comments, it doesn't mean they didn't see it.....it means they didn't care enough to comment. Just please stop with all the new threads. They make baby Jesus cry.in

Edited to add: I don't mean there's anything inherently bad about what you are saying...just that it could have been said equally well in a bunch of other threads. Instead, we'll get another thread with the same old, tired, arguments that we've all read a million times.
