On Wed Jun 11, 2014, 11:59 PM you sent an alert on the following post:

Really, the OP and its followers are stating unequivocally that if you don't agree with
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5085252

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS

The 8th item from the linked OP article that Darkhawk doesn't think is a lie:

>>8. Feminists want to turn everything into rape.

>>Also inherent to the fear of false rape allegations is the idea that new conceptions of rape are terribly murky and complicated, resulting in the criminalization of "hookup culture" and supposedly well-intentioned guys getting accused of violating willing (read: drunk) women.

OK seriously? If you want to downplay rape like George Will recently did: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/act-four/wp/2014/06/10/george-wills-distasteful-conclusions-about-sexual-assault/

Do you REALLY belong in a progressive forum?

Sorry, this post is not "A MERE OPINION" as too many jurors put it. This is right wing denialism, the same stuff that professional misogynists like George Will and Todd Akin say. This user has been trolling this thread and flamebaiting, but this is the lowest of all the posts. Enough already!

Are you looking for conversation or capitulation? n/t Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #4

If somebody posted a list of lies racists say about people of color would you ask the same question? LeftyMom Jun 2014 #5

So you're looking for absolute capitulation. Got it. And the point of posting this is....? Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #6

If you want a conversation you can start by answering my questions. There were only two of them. LeftyMom Jun 2014 #8

Here are your answers... Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #9

"Men's Rights" activism is an anti-woman movement. If you subscribe to such bigoted notions, there's LeftyMom Jun 2014 #12

You're just as bad as the ones who say the Feminist movement is an anti-man movement. Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #16

You're not convincing anybody. Is reddit down or are you just bored? LeftyMom Jun 2014 #18

You sound like a right-winger, you know that? Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #20

See post 15. LeftyMom Jun 2014 #22

No no she doesn't, you're getting all confused CreekDog Jun 2014 #52

No, you are confusing "men's issues" with the so-called Men's Rights Movement. Gormy Cuss Jun 2014 #80

are you looking to walk into the thread and simply derail? or are you looking to walk into seabeyond Jun 2014 #11

I'm asking why this gets constant play here at DU. Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #13

You're not very good at this. nt LeftyMom Jun 2014 #15

What are you wanting out of this thread? Really, what do you want? Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #19

I realize all of us uppity bitches look alike, but you seem to be unaware that I'm not the OP. LeftyMom Jun 2014 #21

You're very aggressively and actively defending it. Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #23

You don't like it when women talk back, do you? LeftyMom Jun 2014 #24

That's not "talking back", that's just being a jerk. n/t Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #25

What do you want for hamfisted threadjacking, a plate of cookies? LeftyMom Jun 2014 #27

If my 7 word response jacked this thread, the OP didn't have much juice, did it? n/t Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #29

At no point have you engaged the substance of the OP. LeftyMom Jun 2014 #39

How could I? LMAO n/t Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #41

If you don't know how to write a counterargument I can't help you. LeftyMom Jun 2014 #45

It has been demonstrated by me saying 7 little words that discussion would never be possible. Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #47

"8 lies that women say about men" is not analogous to the OP. redqueen Jun 2014 #26

You know what? If a person of a different race gave a list of things that racists said about them, redqueen Jun 2014 #31

You folks are the ones acting hateful, aggressive and downright verbally violent. Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #34

Ah, the tone argument. redqueen Jun 2014 #36

The ladies. So emotional. LeftyMom Jun 2014 #37

LOL. Love the wiki shield there. Nice try. n/t Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #40

Thanks again for kicking the thread! We really appreciate your help in discrediting MRA arguments. LeftyMom Jun 2014 #43

And when did I say I was trying to "credit" them. Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #44

Discussion isn't possible because you're threadjacking. LeftyMom Jun 2014 #48

My original response was to gauge the level of civility in this thread. Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #49

Your first post was confrontational, hostile. You had only one goal in mind evident to all seabeyond Jun 2014 #55

Yep, agreed. nt laundry_queen Jun 2014 #58

No, but the implication was to show what, I have a subscription to the Men's Group. Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #32
