(48,121 posts)Maybe when you get over your anger/etc towards men you might be able to have real conversations about feminism here on DU.
Until then - keep making it about men and DU.
How many threads have you posted about women being oppressed in the world in GD in the last few months?
Always about the 'men' and 'men on DU' who need to 'get it' and learn more. As though you want to educate us constantly on how we are not 'getting it' when it comes to women being oppressed.
We do. But we also get it is happening outside, in the real world, all over the world. And spending time here, on DU, bashing each other because some think we don't get it and need to learn more is not helping anyone.
Why can't we all be on the same side on an issue?
I am pro-choice. I care about the rights of women, men, gays, the disabled.
You post in a group called the History of Feminism - and yet when I have read there I don't see anything about it's history, mostly DU and the people here. Maybe it should be the history of feminism on DU.
I can post a ton of threads relevant to women and their issues in this world from news sources all over the place...and you can hear a pin drop in those threads unless there are breasts mentioned maybe. Or dongles. Or if there is any way possible to indict the men (and some women) here on DU and complain that you are being victimized by the rest of us.
You wonder why some people on DU are upset over feminism? It is not because they don't care about the issue - it is because of how a few vocal people here express themselves and turn and issue we all care about into something about themselves and while doing so rip many in the community here over it.
