But as I was saying to seabeyond, thinking about how it felt to lose the Nutforums is helping me detach from DU. If Skinner saw what was said to me (and not hidden) when a certain poster was on hold, and let them back anyway, I will certainly no longer feel safe here. As it is, if something isn't done wrt the rampant misogyny, this place will tear itself apart come the primaries - they'll never accept a female candidate, just like the racists have never accepted President Obama. Well, African-Americans were a minority on DU to begin with (a much smaller minority these days, though, unfortunately) but with women? Especially when we can see how many are disgusted over their behavior right now?
