And I will add this: if your aim is to raise awareness of important issues like gender equality, sexism, and female objectification, it's my belief that you are succeeding. The threads I've read on these issues over the past several weeks have for the most part been very interesting and informative. That's not to say they haven't been frustrating for the participants -- and sometimes frustrating to read -- but I certainly never promised that DU would be a frustration-free experience, especially when people are discussing big issues that many progressives still apparently need to be educated on.

I have seen many people over these past several weeks admit that they didn't "get it" before, but have since changed their minds after reading some of these discussions. That could not have happened if we simply shut down these discussions. There have been many highly-recommended threads supporting women on DU who are speaking out. And the people who show up in these threads to complain about things like the unbearable burden of being a straight white man in America or how confusing it is to hold a door open for someone are, in my opinion, not doing themselves or their arguments any favors.

I have seen no such thread in support of your position. But by all means, feel free to post one and see what you come up with.

Hundreds of people and the owner of this site have said they disagree with you. Yet you are entirely impervious to this. You assume you and only you are the determinate of how women are allowed to behave and what rights you deem us allowed to have. A man telling a woman how she can speak and what she can work for is a "true feminist." A woman asserting her own rights is not a "true feminist" but instead a harasser. The reality of what has transpired on DU in recent weeks has completely escaped you. You appear incapable of viewing the world outside of ego, and nothing and no one else seems to matter.
