So, how bad is it as of November 8th?

[noamnety]

1. Too disgusted to vote. (nt)

[BlueIris]

2. I feel that.

Man, I hate GD.

[noamnety]

3. The thread that did me in

was the one where they were explaining that if you are willing to fight in Iraq, you deserve mountains of photos of naked women.

[Katherine Brengle]

5. I love that men feel entitled to

sexual access. It just warms my heart. I mean, my stomach, and my esophagus as the bile starts to rise.

Bah.

[BlueIris]

8. Oh, man.

That's...entirely horrifying.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

13. What about the (straight) women in Iraq?

Oh wait...I forgot. Us wimmenz are innately driven to prefer pictures of puppies and kitties and ponies and unicorns, while we dream mistily of Teh Providers For Our Baybeez.

Unless, of course, we are the low class sluts IN the pictures, in which case we are "choosing" and "empowered" to be the repository for whatever sick fuck fantasy the dear little red-blooded boys want to project upon us.

I'm so glad I didn't see that thread.

[Lilith Velkor]

14. "low class sluts"

How progressive. :eyes:

[Katherine Brengle]

16. That phrase was not, I believe, the opinion of the poster but rather the popular opinion

of those who support such exploitation.

[noamnety]

20. I understood that as well.

I read the first line of that post "Us wimmenz are innately driven to prefer pictures of puppies and kitties and ponies and unicorns, while we dream mistily of Teh Providers For Our Baybeez" as fairly clear sarcasm, I'm surprised if anyone felt the sarcasm smiley was needed for it.

[LostinVA]

18. I know

:eyes:

[Katherine Brengle]

4. The usual, disturbingly high.

[Ellen Forradalom]

6. Left, right or center

Lotsa folks don't get it.

[lightningandsnow]

7. Stay out of GD.

Really, nothing good comes from hanging around there.

Hang out with me in the Lounge instead. :-)

[ThomCat]

9. That's good advice recently.

:(

[Anarcho-Socialist]

10. The fact that many DUers will give Ron Paul the time of day

who is a rabidly anti-choice, misogynist, homophobic and bigoted, makes me wonder if they care a jot about women's liberation.

[ThomCat]

11. The sad truth is that most of them don't.

A lot of people only pay useless lip service to the idea of equality, even here at DU.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

12. In a word, no.

This has been proven time and time again on threads about misogyny and oppression of women worldwide.

[Marie26]

15. So, nothing's changed?

I haven't posted here in months, mostly because of the rampant misogyny. Has it actually gotten worse?

[Katherine Brengle]

17. Some days it's worse, most of the time it's the same as ever but there are more

voices standing up to it lately so that makes them scream louder about their "right" to act this way.

[noamnety]

19. Well, let's see

threads today:

one person needs to know whether hillary spits or swallows.

one person doesn't get what I'm talking about when I say a photo of a nude woman being run through a meat grinder is misogynistic - cause, you know, they don't have a problem with photos of people having sex. Also, cartoons of black women with no pants and a sign saying crab farm - not racist or misogynistic.

And DU is horrified at humanity because there is bestiality going on in "a prostitute town." The women can stay, but the animals, lord, that's shocking how people treat animals like sex slaves.

And we are training our preteen girls in how to make false accusations of rape.

I dunno, is that better or worse?

[Anarcho-Socialist]

21. That is horrible

It's shocking to read such vileness on a progressive messageboard.
