For those who don't look at dailykos
Advertisements [?]
They've had a major dustup over feminism on their site. Many feminists have left the site in anger. I spent some time last night reading the threads. All I can say is that we have much work to do in the progressive community. It is all too reminiscent of some of the battles on DU. (I rarely post on Kos so I was not involved in any of this. Reading the flame wars was enough to make me very depressed.)

Kos posted a thread yesterday that was the final straw for many of the women who left the site. Some of the women created a site that summarizes their issues. To be fair, Kos has another post today on the controversy where he apologises. Links below:
