Proposal to Amend DU TOS Language

7. Perhaps by restricting misogynistic comments, it forces Introspection.

If you allow a misogynistic post, not only does it insult others but it makes the site low-brow.

By restricting such posts, the writer is forced to control themselves and reflect on whether they are posting objectionable material. If they are going to post such content, they then need to rephrase it. It would help in altering the internal dialogs the writer has when formulating a post or reply. After a while, that reflection would become second nature, not only here but elsewhere.

I'm all for checking misogynistic comments. As a father of three daughters and someone with two sisters, I know they don't need to see that type of dialog online. It's bad enough when the middle school and high school kids tell them not to run for office but instead make them sandwiches.

Now, the schools they go to have mostly young women as their class presidents. One of my daughters was one of them.
