Why aren't more people, men especially, shocked and outraged

58. That was an incredibly idiotic thing for Hume to say...

pretty much equating thuggery and heroism.

But, somehow I missed all the threads about Hume and managed to accidentally see the one by the man-hating alleged "feminist". I posted in it when there were maybe a dozen replies. It does seem to have since lit a fire under some people.

Your point seems to be that a nutty woman gets more negative attention than an idiotic male newscaster around here. That might indicate a problem if actually true. Yet another in the ongoing examples of the horrors of Sexist Underground.

Or, it might indicate nothing more than a general boredom with serious topics, which would require some thought, or actual work, to keep up with. And Brit Hume being an asshole is old news anyway.

DU does have a history of ongoing, occasionally long, threads about unlikable radicals. Many, if not most, of them tend to be in fundie churches, Nazi-related organizations and such, and tend to be more often men. Except for Ayn Rand, of course, and the continuing complaints about her, or a certain former governor of Alaska, don't turn this place into Misogynist Underground either.
