your response. And the same goes for THIS response, nothing in my post was addressed AGAIN proving my point, that the real issues facing women in this world today, are not really that important here on DU, most important, what will get over one thousand responses, is 'who said what that I can be offended by'.

How truly sad that is.

I wish we get that many responses to a post about the plight of women in Afghanistan.

But having made an attempt to get some interest in women's ACTUAL issues here on DU, I gave that up a long time ago, and go elsewhere to discuss the real issues women in this world are facing.

It is my understanding a banned DUer can approach the Admins to request reinstatement. MohRokTah Jun 2015 #1
At least he's allowed to grovel. Ed Suspicious Jun 2015 #246
I doubt seriously if an admin would consider a reversal if the banned subject makes no request. MohRokTah Jun 2015 #248

So, he should feel remorse for saying something that did not warrant same? MrMickeysMom Jun 2015 #456
What he said absolutely deserved the ban hammer. MohRokTah Jun 2015 #473
That means that you accuse me of the same misogyny by my statement now? MrMickeysMom Jun 2015 #551
You are so right Long Drive Jun 2015 #592
No he did not, and a vast majority of the WOMEN here on DU do not agree with this at all. sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #621
