Don't dare speak about violence against women

[UtahLib]

4. I would, just once, like to gain insight into certain issues without the same predictable crap

being spewed by the same predictable people. I find it pretty disturbing that whenever an OP concerning violence against women is posted, there is always a backlash from certain DU members. There seems to be a pattern to their concerted efforts to turn the focus to the trials and tribulations of men. This raises questions in my mind as to why they find it necessary to derail such discussions when they can just as easily post an OP voicing their concerns about violence against men if they find the information in the thread, they voluntarily entered, to be as one sided as they claim. I can only conclude that they enter certain threads posted by particular members, who they seem to delight in harassing, with the obvious intent to demean and diminish the importance of the subject.

As an aside, upon voicing my frustration to my husband, he suggested that disruptors might be discouraged from deliberately derailing the conversation if everyone else would simply act as though they aren't there, leaving them speaking to only each other. Though ignoring them would probably be difficult, I think it would be hilarious.
