32. It is like those religious nuts in Kansas that think their religions freedom is being infringe by

allowing same sex marriages. Eh, no, it ain't. It is doubtful the same sex couples they are objecting to, belong to their church, anyway.

Well, the same thing is going on in DU, only it is not religion and not same sex marriages that is the problem. It is a Group of self-described "feminists" trying to decide for the rest of us what is and what is not objectionable. And they want to dictate to the rest of DU their way of thinking.
Well, some of us, of both genders, have a problem with that, just as most of us have a problem with religious people dictating their religious views as law, in the real world.
This is supposedly a Democratic, Liberal, Progressive web site and we should not tolerate some group or other trying to dictate to the rest of us what they think is and what is not allowed. Why should we be tolerant of being dictating to by fellow members? This is after all, a discussion board. There should be room for both, no matter how wrong one side may or can be.
They want tolerance from the rest of us for their views, but they object and have little or no tolerance, when we post something differing from their views.
That just seems so wrong for a Democratic Underground web site, to be so strongly dictated to by fellow members.
