(54,882 posts)or you don't want to understand. Because if you had, you wouldn't continue to repeat the same nonsense. It isn't particularly complicated. It's geared toward high-school and college kids.
There is no message of sexual repression by feminists. There is an excuse by men who insist that only they should have full dominion over everything in life, including what is posted on DU. They use that trope as excuse for holding on to power and demeaning and disrespecting women on this site. Most people can see through the whole charade perfectly clearly. It's all about asserting male domination. They don't respect feminists and indeed most of the members of this site enough to bother to listen to their concerns. That is as true for African Americans and Muslims as it is for feminists, as is evident to anyone who bothers to read the threads in the AA and Muslim groups. All they care about is themselves, what they want, and their determination to maintain DU as their little fiefdom of power, perhaps because they lack power in their own lives.
The kind of shit that goes on in DU hasn't been acceptable in any workplace that follows the law, in any congressional office, or Democratic Party office in well over 25 years. I don't know where people have been the last few decades that this sort of thing comes to news to them. It is all prohibited by federal law as part of a hostile environment.
Whatever. I'm done dealing with people who make clear that my concerns don't matter enough to even attempt to understand. I don't exist to them as a full human being with equal rights, so they don't exist to me.
