#rapecultureiswhen Is the Perfect Answer to Everyone Who Denies Rape Culture Exists
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024751657

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This mono culture is getting very old. The problem is not DU!
Most of the DU "rape culture" is in the heads of the HoF, where this post should be.
DU members got the message a long time ago and we should not be subject to this constant rape culture mentality, as if DU'ers were somehow responsible. Enough already.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Mar 29, 2014, 06:56 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is no where in the ball park of needing to be hidden. I suggest you use the trash a thread feature. Leave.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I will now go and recommend it.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I understand that the alerter may be burnt out on the "gender wars" nonsense here at DU, but the RQ post alerted upon is perfectly reasonable -- alerting on it was not.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I agree that this is getting tiresome and with everything the alerter says, but I don't agree this needs to be hidden. Better just ignore.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Women don't like being raped. Fancy that.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
