History of Feminism

I don't know if I have the stomach to be around when it's time for the primaries. I well remember what it's been like here in the past. The misogyny and homophobia reach a fever pitch. Trolls descend from everywhere and use the most insulting, degrading language against women candidates and posters. And the bigots who are already here become even more emboldened. In fact, I was searching the other day for an old primary thread which epitomized just how bad it could be but I guess it was too dated for the search engine.

I could probably stick it out but I simply don't trust the jury system anymore. And frankly, I barely know which posters to trust anymore. I know there are times when I've been manipulated and it frustrates me no end. Though I haven't really participated in the objectification threads (I decided some time ago to focus my limited energies on some specific topics) I did read through some of them and learned a lot about a few posters -- knowledge I will take into consideration the next time I'm confronted by them in other threads.
