Seth MacFarlane's Oscars opener was a great, steaming misogynist turd

Between Seth MacFarlane and the Onion, Oscars night was a festival of misogyny

None of these men and women could possibly have a point. The women are all think skinned, humorless whiners, filled with 'poutrage' who can't let go. The men are clearly under the thumbs of harridans; feminazis. They're all pathetic and they don't get that MacFarlane was being subversive and post-ironic. Or something.
 
And no, I won't let it go. Much of the reaction here at DU has been an approximation of the above paragraph. That reflects a sexism problem here on DU- much as that will be vehemently denied.

It's true!

As soon as you find someone on the internet who agrees with you, you win the argument.

1. I was brow beat by a male on DU

because I made a post in meta (how dare I) about a jury I served on where the man said his wife forgot she was raped when asked in a phone survey. And he put the word raped in quotation marks. The jury decided to leave it. In meta I provided the offending post that was alerted on, and the jury results, stating that I was on the wrong side of a jury again, but that I didn't think I was wrong.
 
Of course he directed all his venom at me for a post that another male poster made in the comments. His attack on me was aggressive and beyond the pale. It was accusatory and false.
 
Yet, you will see appreciation threads of him on DU, because he calls others he disagrees with liars. And he thinks they are the bullies.
 
I agree, there is a huge sexism issue on DU. Thanks for speaking up. I hope you don't end up getting a reputation of being an outraged, rabid dog, witch hunter for making this post, like some have foisted upon others who dare to broach the subject.

"brow beating" is the new "violence against women"

Thank Dog we don't allow these delicate flowers into ground combat.

3. IMHO he actually was being subversive, but I totally get how/why people got offended.

Subversive

Percieved sexism is now a crime against the state.

I wonder who Boston Bean was talking about? 

Here we have another inevitable liberal conflict of interests.  The left's anything-goes attitude toward sex is going to lead to objectification of anything you're sticking it into.  It's just another hole, it's just another boob.  Hey, if it feels good, do it.

Just don't call me a slut or whore for doing it.

Somebody needs to contact Seth McFarlane and tell him he has got a stalker.

Wow...the way they're going after Seth, you'd think he was Republican.

Yet he's a bigger moonbat than most DUmpmonkeys. I also thought he did an excellent job hosting the Oscars.

Femibeasts like wallduded cali make it much harder for normal women to get hired.

People are terrified of getting fooled into hiring a moonbat looking for a discrimination or harrassment lawsuit. Even if it's groundless, defending it can cost a fortune.

Wife has a relative that has filed and collected on three frivolous workman comp claims and he thought I should give him a job....
