(37,573 posts)but I could have missed some things.
He/she is demanding proof for a fairly outrageous statement
"there are PLENTY of established posters who ..."
and given that list of beliefs, I would be surprised and shocked if there were more than TWO such established posters on DU who believed even TWO of the things on that list.
I think that rant is mostly hyperbole. There are some established posters who dispute some things people say about women's issues. Perhaps even MANY such posters.
I would not dispute that, because I am probably one of them. I have my disputes even with some things which are part of the Liberal Nicene Creed. Things like "male privilege" or "unequal pay" (and I happen to be somewhat of an economist) and have scoffed at the notion of a "rape culture" in this country.
Now it is one thing to be very angry at the things I have actually said, or the way I said them, and it is another thing to say that, for example, because I scoff at the idea of "rape culture" that I believe (or have ever said) I "think women are too quick to cry rape and too sensitive about it, (or, worse, that they provoke it and are to blame)" or I "think there's total equality now and any woman who says otherwise is just a man-hater or in denial or greedy."
Until a few examples are provided, that list reads like a bunch of strawmen.
