(36,238 posts)They post here. It wasn't just this one that got caught being a sock tonight who was obviously very much a true misogynist. We've been graced with his presence for years. And there are others. You really think they just stay over there.
You want women to just ignore rape threats?
When are you folks going to please listen to many of your members at DU that there is a problem here.
Some effort of at least trying to understand the issue instead of avoiding or not believing it exists. That type of response makes it very difficult for feminists to post on this board. It makes it feel even more hostile, when the persons who own the site won't even acknowledge there is a problem.
You can't possibly blame persons, other than those doing it. This issue needs sunshine and disinfectant, it doesn't need to be ingored like it doesn't exist.
You folks do have the power to make it a bit better. It wasn't always this bad.
ETA, I can't believe you are making me out to be the bogeyman for posting this here. It is something that affected me personally and it was about my participation on DU. Like my posting was a worse offense than the actual rape threats. That is how your responses are making me feel.
