Reply #79: I used humor

[omega minimo]

to illustrate a point. :hi:

I did not accuse
you of being humorless.

My concern is that
(just as it was when the Women's World Group was at this stage)
women and their various issues will lose visibility in the general DU population.

"...given the daily prevalence of being smacked in the eyeballs with some sexist bullshit...."
the use of "Neanderthal" is hardly outrageous. I thought we were discussing this Group idea and "what to do about sexism on DU" because WE HAVE been assaulted verbally on a continual basis.
And please, I hope at least some of my creativity gave you a chuckle. The "Whereas" was a big clue that it was MEANT to be ridiculous.

"...the disruptors and aggressive/defensive sexists are the MINORITY."

My concern is that the more that women retreat and their voices and concerns are not on the main forums, the less chance there is that the disruptive sexism in those forums will ever be addressed.

Good luck.to all
