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

92. Because there's disagreement among DUers about a 'radfem' being a good thing to be

whereas everyone agrees Brit Hume is a jerk.

Some people say being a 'radical feminist' is fine - even necessary. Others say that, when you look at the people who call themselves 'radfems', you find they can be offensive - like the author of that blog that the large thread linked to. So there's a big disagreement in our community about the term 'radfem', and all the evidence that people bring up in the argument.

Hume, on the other hand, works for Fox News. He's well known, as is the whole channel, for being idiotic, and saying anything to push a right wing point of view. If you look at the threads (as well as the 55 reply one, the first one progressoid linked to above got 63 replies) you'll see the pattern is a lot of replies to the OP, but relatively few replies to those replies - because people have something to say on how stupid Hume is, and pretty much all agree with each other. The radfem thread, on the other hand, is a lot of people arguing with each other. If you count up the number of people who have posted in a Hume thread, and in the radfem thread, you may well find more people posted in a Hume thread (I'm not sure on the exact numbers, and it's not worth the effort to count up precisely). But they return to the radfem thread more, because there's unresolved arguments in it.
