(57,771 posts)I am not a collective. I am an individual human being. Your defense is you don't believe I act as an individual? Are you actually going to claim you can't tell my writing and posting style from other members of that group? Does the name on the linked post look like mine? Or is my crime that I more often than not agree with feminists who care about women's rights? (You've obviously missed the disagreements among members of that group about a host of issues). Or is the crime that women in HOF support each other as friends rather than spending our days attacking each other, as some seem to think is how women should behave? Whatever your problem is in recognizing the humanity of individuals who have the audacity to disagree with you is your problem entirely.
That's the first I've seen that comment you linked to. I'm going to assume by your use of it that you consider the one insult about the pat on the head far worse than calling a woman a c.... You chose that remark, and didn't see fit to comment on the sexist vulgarity. Nor did you remark on the other "pat on the head" comment. Have you demanded an explanation from him? No, yet you insist I bear some collective guilt for a comment made by someone who was on my ignore list at the time. How many times am I supposed to comment on one insult to this person you elevate above the rest of DU? Why exactly do I have to talk about that insult ad nauseum while the regular insults against me don't even register on your radar? Why is it acceptable for that member to insult me regularly, yet I am supposed to apologize for remarks someone I had on my ignore list made to her? Shall I hold you responsible for the vile comments to Sea because you share that member's antipathy toward certain feminists on this board?
I consider your refusal to acknowledge me as an individual human being a grave insult. I see no reason to talk to anyone who refuses to recognize my humanity, who charges me with things I never did and has the nerve to link to a post to someone else as evidence of my culpability. Since I don't exist as a person. you have no reason to ever again respond to any of my posts. Just ask the person you linked to what I think, since you apparently don't believe I have a mind of my own or even exist as an individual.
