3. I don't understand it either Blanche.

This is a Democratic board, sometimes I have to log onto DU again to make sure I have not taken a right turn into into freeperville.

The vicious attacks on women here appall me. The Disrespect The Harassment and The Inhumane Comments stop me cold. Oh let's not forget the alert stalking of women here as well.

Are they really fooling anyone Blanche? Or are they just being given a pass because they are men.

Violence against women is real and it can be deadly. Verbal abuse is incredibly harmful as well. Why should we suffer it here as well?

Unfortunately (to say the least) there does seem to be at least a relative handful of posters here - nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #14
