REASON FOR ALERT

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

YOUR COMMENTS

Nasty and insensitive "WHAT ABOUT MENZZZ???" deflection in thread about female genital mutilation. The basic fact is that female/male genital mutilation is hardly comparable. See this link for info. http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/05/06/for-the-boys-with-boo-boos/

I'm tired of seeing all these "what about the men" comments on discussions of women's issues on freaking DU!! Sure some of you think "discuss, don't hide", but this post doesn't sound like anything worth reasoning with.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat Jun 21, 2014, 05:53 PM, and voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: It's never important enough when it concerns "only women," is it? There's also an extreme ignorance on display as to the reality of FGM and how it's not equivalent to male circumcision; unless male circumcision includes removing the foreskin, chopping off the testes, then sewing the urinary meatus shut so that only a drop of urine can escape at a time. Imagine the shape your body is in when it can't excrete waste products. Yeah. That is only one of the problems reported by girls and women who have had FGM forced on them. Hide it.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see what's hide-worthy about this. Other people have addressed this in their responses. No, they are not "the same thing," but they are in the same league. I think the alerter is being a jerk. S/he even says the old "discuss, don't hide" bit. Yes, that's right, discuss, don't hide. If the post "doesn't sound like anything worth reasoning with," then don't bother discussing. So many authoritarians around here trying to make DU suck.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I'm hiding it because this is a stupid remark that indicates no knowledge of the subject, as well as stupidity by false equivalence. Don't post stupid stuff like this here.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Okay but why alert? Doesn't seem like a CS issue. Possibly MIRT if there are other indicators but I don't think boorish remark merits an insta-ban. If a troll there will be clearer indicators.

Thank you.
