I'm bummed! On boards like this, there are usually way more people who lurk and don't participate than those who do. I considered you to be a real leader and subject matter expert on feminism, just as there are others who gravitate towards other subjects concerning ACTUAL liberal causes, women's issues being one of them. That's why I really valued your input and activism. I learned a lot from your posts.
I see the way the detractors just keep picking away pretending not to understand anything and trying to minimize your input, but if I can see through it, so can many others. If I want to read little boy humor and snark, I'd listen to the Howard Stern show or some other rot like that. There's some football message boards I used to read about the team(s) I cared about, and I swear the college football players (seen in the media, not on the boards) were more mature than the creepy men posting about them. Of course there were really great people on those boards, but my point is that I would expect porn-y, vulgar dreck from them considering that environment, but here it's really a shame to see.
Well, here's a candle lit until you return.
