I think we need to talk about the hatred of women.

76. You appear to want it so that more people are banned

because I can't see what else the effect of giving some members admin powers would be (there would be massive legal and privacy implications, of course - the admins are owners and/or employees of the LLC that runs DU, and are thus controlled by the law in what they can do with our credit card details, email addresses, IP numbers, PMs that we send to other DUers, and so on; I presume it's not for those powers that you want some members to become admins, so it must be to have them ban some Duers you don't like).

A lot of your latest post is irrelevant - "Sandra Fluke is a whore" was said by Rush Limbaugh, and I didn't see a single person supporting it in any way on DU (that wasn't a brand-new, quickly banned troll, anyway). DU was massively critical of it - it dominated the site for days, and is still frequently referred to as part of the problem of the American right wing attitude to women. But it in no way represents what DUers think.

If a DUer said objectification is a made-up term, that does not show they hate women. Are you saying your sexual harassment courses told you that it did? It shows they disagree with the terminology used by feminists.
