SOP conversation [View all]

Our current SOP is: "Discuss all issues affecting women in the U.S. and around the world."

Does it need to be changed?

I think we had mentioned that we would talk about the SOP after hosts were selected.

We would also discuss whether we should be a 'protected group', though I am unclear what that actually means in DU3

SOP conversation [View all] La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 OP

Re: "Protected group." Before we ask to become a protected group, let's talk about what this means. yardwork Feb 2012 #1

really good point La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #2

I'm not sure what it means. You go first. yardwork Feb 2012 #3

i already said i have no idea what that would mean for du3 La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #5

Agreed obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #6

yes, i think once we sort out SOP La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #7

Has anyone EVER been TOS'd or PPRd from DU for sexism or misogyny? Remember Me Feb 2012 #13

You mean since you joined DU last July? yardwork Feb 2012 #14

EVEr is what I said, and what I mean Remember Me Feb 2012 #15

yes, many times on DU2 and quite a few here as well maddezmom Feb 2012 #16

Well that's comforing because I've not seen Remember Me Feb 2012 #28

I know of at least 5 that were PPR'd from DU3 maddezmom Feb 2012 #29

Yes. laconicsax Feb 2012 #38

I am really glad to hear it Remember Me Feb 2012 #45

that looks good to me maddezmom Feb 2012 #17

Thanks! obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #18

That sounds great Irishonly Feb 2012 #47

I suggest that we talk about the SoP now and table the discussion on protected status. Gormy Cuss Feb 2012 #4

As I said in another thread, I prefer to participate in groups that are open to everybody. yardwork Feb 2012 #8

how about someone who is against abortion in all cases La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #9

Yeah. I think that should be against community standards on DU. I alerted on that post, btw. yardwork Feb 2012 #11

as a host... I think we would just agree to kick them out OKNancy Feb 2012 #23

That would certainly be the best recourse obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #25

hell yes... I told Gormy OKNancy Feb 2012 #26

Uh oh obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #27

note to self--retrieve spiked heels from closet, to be used as needed niyad Feb 2012 #53

agree and hope all the hosts feel the same way maddezmom Feb 2012 #30

I agree. Gormy Cuss Feb 2012 #40

No and that should probably be spelled out in the SOP n/t kdmorris Feb 2012 #32

Somebody who calls prochoice people pro-deathers is inherently not interested in women's rights. Gormy Cuss Feb 2012 #41

This obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #44

Mind meld! obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #10

That's because we're socks. /nt yardwork Feb 2012 #12

do you match? my socks almost never do La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #19

LOL! Where do those socks go???! yardwork Feb 2012 #20

I hope so obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #21

I don't think we need to be "protected" OKNancy Feb 2012 #22

I say yes to anything that is a woman's/women's issue obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #24

EVERY issue is a women's issue niyad Feb 2012 #54

I agree with Nancy about everything she said in that post. yardwork Feb 2012 #49

The SOP could always use clarification kdmorris Feb 2012 #31

Good post, kd obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #33

I agree with you about each of those issues, but I don't think it's possible to spell it all out. yardwork Feb 2012 #50

Oh, I agree with that... kdmorris Feb 2012 #52

what I'd like to see added along with all the other great suggestions maddezmom Feb 2012 #34

Cosign with the maddez on this obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #36

Two thumbs up... Yep kdmorris Feb 2012 #39

I like the idea of a bullet-point list of do's and don'ts justiceischeap Feb 2012 #35

Great idea. Lisa D Feb 2012 #37

Again, I would prefer to leave this to the discretion of the hosts within a broad, simple SoP. yardwork Feb 2012 #51

My 2 cents: laconicsax Feb 2012 #42

Thanks laconicsax - great point. Gormy Cuss Feb 2012 #43

yes, i would like to add that to the SOP La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #46

As far as "protected" I think we already are kdmorris Feb 2012 #48

My 2 cents. A little clarification / specificity. MH1 Feb 2012 #55

I have a question Lisa D Feb 2012 #56

Sure, let me put it another way. MH1 Feb 2012 #57

I think I understand what you're getting at, and here's how I feel about it. Gormy Cuss Feb 2012 #61

Thank you for elaborating. Lisa D Feb 2012 #62

i completely and absolutely disagree La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #58

Thank you, Lioness obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #59

sorry, I think my post was not clear enough, if that's how you read it. MH1 Feb 2012 #60

I'm going to lock this and direct people to post comments and suggestion in the Current SoP thread. Gormy Cuss Feb 2012 #63
