(36,225 posts)Never mind each person who voted to let that crap stand, they really should at the very least be looked at.
That post there was a misogynistic boatload of really scary shit.
Here's the link to if some need it:

Here are the jury results as posted within that thread:
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I have never seen such filth and vitriol in an alert. Obviously the alertist disagrees with this post. IMO the author of the post is sincere in what they say or the post would not be so lengthy. It is childish to alert on a post with the objective of hiding it just because you can't accept what is said. Same as holding your hands over your ears and holding your breath until your face turns blue. LEAVE IT
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: gee, where have I heard this story before??? oh yeah, some variant of it nearly every single time women try to discuss their lives. BORRRRRRRRING.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Please hide this. It is pure misogyny.

(36,225 posts)Sorry, not buying it any longer. I've seen to much proof to prove otherwise.
I am not making any accusation to you, just making a statement.
