well said.

I agree, it's mean here. I'm a woman and would love to be more involved, but the demand (from some) that you have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you're a feminist first second and last is unfair.

There are some people here that see everything as an assault on women, and if you disagree, well then you're part of the problem. Some of us don't see things that way, aren't offended by every thing. From the term chick flicks to the "b" word--which is a whole 'nother topic.

What's happening in this group is taking it's toll on ALL DU'ers, there's really no such thing as an outsider. From juries to threads in H&M, to the latest threads. I'm ashamed that every catty, mean stereotype said about women is being reaffirmed here by WOMEN who claim to fight for women.

At at rate, I agree with what you said.
