My Sisters [View all]

We must stay here if at all possible we can't let criminals and their band of misogynists run us off of DU. What happens to any feminist on here should be everybody's concern. I am still in shock over the rape and death threats. I am beyond disgusted. I hope whoever made the threats is apprehended and jailed. It is a crime to make such threats. To all my DU brothers who are supportive and understanding of feminist issues thank you so much, love and peace to you all.
