(8,267 posts)It doesn't appear so.
I am disgusted by the derisive, belittling responses I'm seeing.
I've been here for a decade now, and I've only recently begun limiting my time on DU because of the marked increase in sexism and misogyny--and the BRUTAL FACT that the admins look the other way.
This guy was beyond the pale, so I'm not surprised that he got banned. However, there are many, many more here and at DI who couch their misogyny in weasel posts, trying to be clever enough to avoid a hide or a time-out. And, there are some who try to goad certain feminists into posting something that might get hidden. Why does this not warrant a change in the TOS?!?
I'll never understand that.
I continue to read n2doc, SCE, xchrome, and a handful of others (hi, Paul), but I don't recommend this forum, and I don't participate as much anymore.
