For the men of DU! Kick please [View all]

I saw the thread celebrating the women of DU but felt the men deserved one too. Over the past 15 years I have been a member of DU I can say I've met about 100 of you in person. Many more of you are friends on facebook or maybe just friends here at DU.

You are fathers, you are brothers, you are husbands and you are sons. But one thing you all are is class! You respect women and treat us as equals. No one had to teach you that 'No means No' because to you that was just common sense. You may tease us women in a fun way (please no tollbooth jokes!) but in the end you know that women deserve the same respect and treatment as you would give to men - as you would want for yourself!

As a woman I'd like to say Thank you!
