Apr 2014

other men taunting women saying, .... ya ya??? whatta 'bout it.

jokes.... about rape. really? hot button? ya. loverboy too cute. i bet we would have all had a chuckle.

and a man declaring 57% is yellin', me too me too.

one man who proclaims professional women should maintain femininity at all cost by wearing summer dresses as their professional work clothes, as he is letting us all know about the rape culture and his rape??? (not clear, attempted rape???)

this thread cfl is another example of the rape culture.

everything that is being done in this thread to diminish and dismiss what we talk about with women, boys and girls on du.

now...

there really is nothing to see here. we can all move along

there could have been a serious discussion, .... but the purpose seems to be a show.

i am taking mopinko up on here suggestions. (actuallly, i only read the title of mopinko's Op. that works for me. the rest?)

Yes, I'm VERY disgusted at your attempt to silence this discussion. closeupready Apr 2014 #61
calm down there pal, i don't have the ability to "silence" anything on DU. dionysus Apr 2014 #66
I hope not because this study isn't worth a flame war. It's about as reliable as an Internet poll. Comrade Grumpy Apr 2014 #62
all i meant was, post any gender based OP on DU and watch it become a several hundred post flame war dionysus Apr 2014 #65
