~ One Woman~ A dedication to the Women of DU.

88. It doesn't take any seeking when it was the top of the page...

And how exactly is it dumping on yr thread when all I did was disagree with you when you decide that it's 'alert stalking' for me to alert on a nasty attack on myself if it's from a woman you approve of? What exactly does that say about me? I'll tell you what it says. That if anyone is going to throw round accusations of alert stalking, they want to be real sure they know what they're talking about before they do it. Because at least two of those hides weren't alert-stalking, which does seem in the way yr using it to mean 'I don't like that these posts got hidden, therefore it's alert-stalking'. If yr still unsure why mine wasn't alert stalking, here's why. I'd alert on anyone at DU who said something that ugly to me.

Yr upset because you think yr thread is merely praising the women of DU? I'm sorry, but maybe you didn't notice that while yr praising the women of DU (strange how that praise turned to nastiness once I disagreed with you on something), you did pepper the thread liberally with complaining about alert-stalking and supposed 'silencing' of a few DUers. Here's the post I replied to that was solely on that topic http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5565142


Just in case you've forgotten and are confused why after what I described to you (thanks for the understanding, btw!) I decided to say something, here's a reminder:

From the OP:

"This is for seabeyond and bainesbane who seem to be IMHO alert stalked here. And for the loss of redqueen, you too Whisp. Stop silencing our voices. There is no need to talk over us. There is no need to shut us up or shut us down. Our voices and our goals are for our future, our childrens future. Why are you so afraid of us?"

A bit further down the thread:

"Women on DU are being silenced. Why is that? Why do we frightened some men so?

sea baines redqueen, love you. "

But, wait. There's more:

"Stop silencing women! We have a voice. We matter.

I ask you to stop with the alert stalking. Yes it is happpening and women are being silenced on a Democratic board"

And still more:

"Alert stalking on DU! Really? Have we sadly become the RW party that tells a woman what she can say and do? DU, I am ashamed of you. "

If being part of this 'we are one' means I'm supposed to sit there and cop abuse at DU, count me out...

Dumping on this thread would have been saying how much Helen Reddy sucked and how I was too young at the time to understand what the words bland and insipid meant, but I thank Helen Reddy for teaching me. So I won't do that. Instead I'll finish up with some Kim Deal, the coolest female musician ever. I'd love to be half as cool as Kim Deal *sigh*

Have a lovely day...
