(62,325 posts)more pushback, though they are trying, over there. Another reason I like the site with all its warts. It really is harder to do what is done here, attack liberals with their own issues, that old Rovian trick. See how many men here try so hard NOT to be viewed as misogynists even when they are not?
Over there it doesn't work. People are not at all intimidated by them trying to 'shame' them as 'liberals' so they haven't been able to get the same foothold there. I never take the bait, here or there, but I do see how it works and am not criticizing those who are stricken with fear of being labeled.
Here they have always taken over women's issues, which is why many of us have never been involved because they do use the insidious attacks on liberals who are vulnerable to those attacks.
Not all of the women in those groups of course are doing this, just a small vocal group who never stop.
I have high hopes for being able to discuss women's issues on Discussionist without the awful fighting and personal attacks I have seen here since I first signed up.
