I'm sorry, but this group is abusing it's "privilege". [View all]

Being a "protected" group is not a license to call out other DUers, promote stalking and intimidation of other DUers, and denigrate entire groups of DUers. Yet in numerous threads listed on the first page of this group all three of those things are being not only done, but applauded and encouraged.

While the promotion of the concepts and ideals of feminism are an absolutely timely and laudable endeavor and many threads here do just that, the fact that this group has adopted a "Meta" cross-purpose and uses it's protected status to limit accountability is an insult to the the idea of a protected group. Yes there legitimate issues occurring on DU that should be addressed and discussed, but using HoF as a shield to say and promote things that one would not in an open forum is no better than those issues that are causing the problems.

As far as I can remember, this is my first post in this group. I fully anticipate that this OP will be alerted on and or locked per your "protected group" SOP, and I also anticipate that I will soon join your blocked member group. So be it. In the mean time, I have shown a small ray of light on the unfortunate direction this group has taken.
