Crap

[ismnotwasm]

Take a break from DU, (Family stuff, long story) come back and find ridiculous rape threads in DU. Ah well. What else did I miss? Any new depths of misogyny reached? Or are they still digging?

1. Welcome back.

Did you catch the period wars?

Basically we are toxic and disgusting one week a month and the entire world is required to stay in a state of shock and denial about that. :)

4. Whoops, missed those

You know, I take care of patients sometimes on their menses.

They might have had major surgery, with drains, and oozing surgical wounds.

What do they get embarrassed and uncomfortable about? Menses. Makes me sad. I try to cheer them up and tell them it's positive hormonal healing blood energy (or something like, If it's appropriate--it's not always of course) The ones I say something along those lines actually seem to like that point of view

2. Good to see you back...!

:hi::hug: Missed seeing you around!

Sorry to hear you've had struggles at home. Hoping things are better now. There were a couple of cute trollish threads created about abortion. They're linked in pro-choice--enjoy! ;)

Oh there were a couple of others that are still active, but I'll link to them here or in pro-choice when they hit the archives. Nothing major though.

5. I missed being here

It wasn't anything too horrible, one of the adult children went through a divorce and had to move in for a couple of months. My grandson taught me chess,(I knew how at one time, but hadn't played in years) and beats me regularly. He's eight.

3. Re: new depths of misogyny...I'd like to believe we can't get any deeper.

But I think we've got a while to go yet.

6. Yeah, that's what I was thinking

Irritating, but not surprising. I wish it WAS surprising.

7. Glad you're back...I never

venture into those DU places that trash women. However, my patience with males has just about been exhausted of late. I'm tempted to get a nice big dildo and keep it in my purse and when some asshole starts in, I can just pull it out and say, 'Buddy, you are talking to the wrong person. Not scat!'

I bet I'd scare him. Hey...maybe I could somehow rig it to become a 'water pistol.' lol! Oh, this is just to damn funny. Anyone ever seen such a thing?

I needed that laugh. Imagine the look on the guy's face....!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

8. LOL

There HAS to be a dildo water pistol somewhere. HAS to be.

10. Ok, this has made me giggle.

:spray:

I agree, there's GOT to be a water pistol dildo somewhere.

9. Oh, today we're seeing the revival of the Hillary Nut Cracker novelty item.

Honestly, this one just makes me think nothing has changed in the last half century.

11. I saw that...

...as much as I try to stay out of GD and GDP I caught that one. :eyes: I was hoping it would be locked, but the cross posted (original)thread remains open. (sigh) Just sick.
