(5,744 posts)This, to me, proves to me you have no interest in an honest discussion/conversation. At all. If you had, you wouldn't have made that post. You would have written an answer, instead of an accusation. Yet another one.
What is there in my post that isn't true? Didn't women in this thread who said they didn't mind the word 'girl' get schooled by other feminists who said those women had "serious self-respect issues"? Didn't a prolific DU feminist say that "all men are potential rapists"? Didn't one of DU's feminists tell me, after I defended my stance of legalizing prostitution: "spoken like a true sweatshop defender"? Didn't a DU feminist say that, if she had her way, she would force adult women in the porn business to undergo therapy and even have them committed because they clearly were incapable of making the right choice? I'm not paraphrasing here, I'm quoting. This has been said and argued on DU.
Self-proclaimed feminists have advocated for taking away womens' agency because those women didn't make the choices in life the feminists wanted them to make. And then they turned around and blamed 'The Patriarchy' for taking away womens' rights --by horrible means, like using the word 'girl'. Do you deny this happened on DU? If you do, you're not telling the truth.
Maybe it's time to look into a mirror instead of saying everybody in the world except you is wrong.
