REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Is it really acceptable here to state that it is justified to beat women for what they are wearing? Even if it is supposedly humorous? There are lots of ways the op could express dislike for this fashion attire without bring misogynistic violence into it.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Dec 27, 2014, 10:33 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Attacking a fashion model for what they are wearing is never okay, regardless of the weapon used.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Jeez. It's clearly meant to be a joke.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh, sweet jesus on a trailer hitch, how do you leap from a joke about arachnophobia to misogyny?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Is this alert for real? The OP is referencing the fact that the dress looks like a spider. This alert is hilarious.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
