Oh my.

It's a very long thread, so I brought over only a little bit of the first part.

The seabitch primitive's there, as usual being nadinesquely incoherent.

I thought Skinner's answer to Bain in ATA was very good.

I thought it was positive and uplifting and I think he gets it. I get pissed at a lot of crap that goes on here,but I think he deserves kudos for his answer.
 
Bains question was very good too. Brava Bains!

3. Did he state that DU has ZERO tolerance

for sexist and misogynist posts?

9. No, but I do think his response was thouthtful and helpful.

10. I'm not impressed. His words are all very nice, but they do nothing to mitigate the fact that DU

has no stance as being against misogyny.

Instead, what he said was that he thinks that our frustration about the boys'-club nature of recent posts, and the disrespect we faced for voicing that frustration, has been useful because our answers were instructive to others.
 
If he posted the same kind of thing about African American or homosexual DUers, we would not be happy. For example, imagine if a group of DUers came out in support of the "religious objection" law in Arizona. Imagine then that homosexual DUers had to spend a few weeks arguing against those who support the law, and against people saying, "There's nothing wrong with a bakery saying they won't serve homosexual people." We would, rightfully, be pretty incensed.
 
Imagine then someone saying, "Yeah, well, but it's good that those people disrespect our members right here on DU, because then when our members fight back, we learn so much."
 
Sorry. As answers go, that pretty much sucks.

13. There actually is a lot of tolerance for racism on DU

which is why there are so few African American members here. I have also noticed more homophobia lately. I don't know if there is an actual increase or that I'm just starting to notice it. My sense is that some have watched the hostility toward people of color and feminists and have felt empowered to express their antipathy toward LGBT members and issues. I'm hoping this recent string of events regarding sexism will shift the pendulum back a bit.

20. If I didn't have skin like a rhinocerous

I wouldn't be so vocal with my opinions. Women are well used to taking shit. At a certain point we say enough is enough.

If she didn't have skin like a rhinocerous, she could possibly find a man who would overlook her grotesque deformities.

Thick leathery skin isn't very feminine.

Maybe she needs some lotion.

Thank goodness for men who like sex
with real breathing, living, orgasmic women better than porn.

32. Is there some prequel thread to this I'm missing? Because I'm not getting it...
 
Like someone just pointed out, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

227. I'm afraid the prequel was three margaritas

106. I heard it like this...


... A young son asks his mother where babies come from. She explains that Daddy puts the sperm into Mommy and a baby grows in Mommy's tummy. The son thinks for a minute, and then asks "How does the sperm get into your tummy? Do you swallow it?" And she says "Only if Mommy wants a new diamond necklace".
