Once Women's Rights and Issues became a group and not a forum, the hosts are now the ones that determine the rules. At the top of the group it says:

This is a group, not a forum. Groups often serve as safe havens for members who share similar interests and viewpoints. Individuals who post messages contrary to a particular group's stated purpose can be excluded from posting in that group. For detailed information about this group and its purpose, click here.

So, really... what we come up with for the SOP will determine how "protected" we are. At that is my understanding of it.

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
