When Men on the Left Refuse to See Their Sexism

120. The cheering is approved, ever present, and only getting louder.

This has happened and is tolerated to different extents on other "liberal" websites as well. I don't spend much time on them, either. I know I am relentlessly negative about this website and its endemic misogyny, but it's become crystal clear that it is not going to change. Ever.

So, at some point you (and others) will have a choice to make. I take what I want from Democratic (sic) Underground (sic), there are a couple of areas that I actually like, and then I leave. I'm okay with that, it is not an important segment of my life and I can take or leave it altogether.

I feel badly for you seabeyond, and others, who have spent a long time here trying to be heard above the giggles and backslapping and titty pics. You've poured your heart and soul into it and gotten slapped in the face in return. You can decide to stay and keep trying, or move on. Either way, I hope you do what's best for your well-being. You may consider leaving as a sign of defeat, but remember that there is no shame in removing yourself from a cesspit and allowing those who wish to stay to wallow in it. You and many of the other women here deserve better than this.

Now, I'm sure the serial alert stalker(s) will be quite busy with this one, so if I get deleted or banished, let me just say that I've enjoyed getting to know all of you. Take care of yourselved and keep up the good fight.
