I guess I'm not like you

I appreciate mylye's insight on issues that he/she has shared with us since joining. You must not have seen their posts?


These two posts are why my husband will never have an account here.

He reads a great deal.

But in spite of the fact that he has mastery of 3 languages other than English and his native language - he's still weakest at WRITING English.

And I bet mylye probably has MORE than just English and French . . . they aren't backwards in Europe like we Americans are. They understand the world is bigger than just them. I've had some great experiences is France but I don't have that typical American arrogance so they treat me well. Yes - you can say I welcome this poster. They are a breath of fresh air!

Rushdoony-ites going off the rails

I'm book marking this and adding to my journal to come back to later.

Thanks! We need every little thing about these people expose. The Family Research council has been around an awful long time - now we know what direction they are taking.

I saw mentions of this quinnox post re black hair styles

Thats unfortunate - seriously unfortunate.

ETA - I realize you can't answer in this thread anymore - but I wonder if he realized Halle cheated? She had her nose narrowed to be more acceptable to the dominant culture - and it was perfectly fine as it was.

So I don't forget to remember

I like the term Mansplain woo Woo

This is posted in HOF - don't confuse it with another thread

So who else uses it?

I think it's an excellent way to to sum up an experience that is very unique to women.

It's one of those things that is just between us.

What am I missing here? And what does it have to do with any real issues . . .

Like I don't know - the recent ruling by the Scrotum Five on the SCOTUS <----because those men all have scrotums . . . Or equal pay. Or Voting Rights.


You know - things that actually matter to women and what I believe is a silent majority of men at DU.


So here you go - lets take the power back and control the conversation. If you like the terminology Mansplain to sum up what you have experienced in life. And if you refuse to stop using it becase it would take energy and effort to do so - energy and effort better spent on getting pro women's rights candidates elected this fall-

Check in.

You should trash the key words

Your time will be better focused here.

Agreed

Thats why I trashed thread titles with the following keywords: NSA, Snowden, Greenwald

I'm bored with the outrage so I made it go away.
