I saw some of your posts to another thread wherein I got into a flammage situation with a few of DU's misogynists. One guy posted a derisive response to the OP and was offended when I noted that his intellect seems rather shallow. The resulting flammage got me thinking.
When an adult male gets his briefs in a bunch over an OP about misogyny, my first impression is that said male holds opinions that carry a whiff of misogyny (those 'degrees' of sexism are important to some sufferers...), or that he has been accused of misogyny (or sexism) in the past. I wonder: if you are an adult, can you not seek enlightenment about this (or any other) issue, and incorporate some fundamental changes in your behavior that reflect your new-found enlightenment?
In short, I have very little patience with guys who refute misogyny, or insist that there are no misogynists on DU (
). I have added three names to my ignore list because of the flammage experience I mentioned hereinabove, but I would rather come up with a way to help such unfortunates understand that sexism and misogyny (and all other patriarchal power imbalances) are damaging to us all.
