Men's Group
In reply to the discussion: A number of my issues with the brand of Feminism on DU [View all]Veilex
(1,555 posts)Notice how the alerter assumes the comment is directed at women and ignores that this issue affects both men and women.
Rather than face reality, the alerter would rather take comments out of context and apply them to his or her specific narrative. This does not strengthen or further the goals of Feminism. Even better, some of the judges attempt to view this as "leading their abuser on" which was neither stated nor implied. That judge must've broken their arm in reaching for that one.
Apparently it is okay for members of the group-that-shall-not-be-named to make stuff up in order to avoid discussion and to silence those who absolutely will never just sit back and nod at whatever they say.
"Some people take advantage of others who have romantic feelings for them" - Very true!

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Wtf? "It is NEVER EVER good to lead someone on in that fashion." "This can also lead to some of those instances of violence or other bad behavior" Is this guy actually saying that a woman is responsible for a guy beating her up or other bad behavior because "some people take advantage of others who have romantic feelings for them"? Seriously? I've seen some fucked up things posted on DU, but the crap that gets posted in this "Men's Group" is just unbelievable.
"This is disturbingly common". No, it's not. This is another MRA talking point. Just like false rape accusations are not disturbingly common.
It's time for admins to take a serious look at this group.
