The Myth of Male Power - Warren Farrell
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002894783
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
"Men's Rights Activists" are regarded as anti-woman hate groups by the SPLC. http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2012/spring/a-war-on-women Bigoted hate speech is not permitted on DU.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Jul 2, 2012, 10:14 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Certain Mens Rights Activists groups are indeed regarded as hate groups by the SPLC. Alerter, however, did no work to try to tie the author of the book in question to one of these groups.
I'm inclined to not agree with anything in this book, but I am not able to call the person or his work bigoted by what has been presented thus far.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I did some research. The author is on a Obama White House appointed board called the Council for Men and Boys.....which includes Gov. Jennifer Grantholm. The term "Men's Rights Activist" may be misused here. I'm for keeping it, but it needs to be monitored closely.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Seriously? We can't even discuss a book because it's "bigoted hate speech"? Seriously?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This alert is absolute nonsense. This is precisely the sort of issue that deserves discussion on DU. The "hate group" claim is absurd and deeply offensive.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: good for discussion.....BTW, if u are stuck on this post, u are fucked. When the economic bus leaves it's tread on your chest, look down as think "i was warned"
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The Great DU War Between The Sexes is fucking stupid. But if you kids are determined to continue it, then knock yourselves out. I say "Fight it, don't hide it."
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
