(53,035 posts)Like the Kate Upton and SI ones, designed to offend and exclude women from DU? There is no respect in that. It's a willful and deliberate act of disrespect, posted in order to offend and make clear that feminists and indeed most women and others on this site aren't worthy of the most minimal respect.
That is the same with your argument about sexual prudishness. You say that, not because any feminist advances the idea, but to ridicule the feminists who suggest you should consider the concerns of women. That is a clear intent to disrespect. So spare me the excuse. Your absence of respect is made evident by not even trying to understand the perspective of a very large number of members of this site who have said they consider those threads hostile.
