callouts are only bad when feminists do it (and especially when they don't use names, like other groups do.)

It's not abusive to call a survivor a liar and other harmful things, it is abusive to tell that person that it's callous to say so.

Did I miss anything?

They can't have anything like that be happening now, can they?

or has shit gotten exponentialy worse here lately?

It is like the hate and abuse is amped up to 11.

There is allowing for "discussion" and then there is just plain insanity.

They're starting to show their true colours.

Something similar to what you wrote in the AA Group.

Boston - pm me a link to this thread you reference.

I am sure BB will hook you up... I'm on a mobile device and it's hard.

It's a bad thread, and I don't say that lightly.

After the guy who said white men were only with black women to "conquer" them this summer and got like 300 recs - I vomited in my mouth a little.

Then I found out MLK was actually a white man who fought for labor rights per DU - and I think I had a minor stroke.

Rape doesn't happen - and women make more money than men - those gave me a nervous tick.

But when I see such petty vicious vindictive bullshit I just feel nothing. That's a quality and extent of horses ass that is beyond comprehension.

She's never been one I would have suspected of being so damned mean. But then again she said she feels the same way about lgbt here. So obviously some of these tendencies have popped up.

democrats if they dislike women and LGBT folk.

"I can't believe somebody wrote that."

And now I've thought that 3 times in the last day or two. (The misogynist screed that resulted in a PPR, and a couple times in CreekDog's thread.)

I am curious if these folks really believe what they write or if they are intentionally pushing buttons. Either way, wow. Just wow.

That surprised me, too. It's a shock when people reveal their true feelings like that.

combined with Skinner's lock and the lack of expected support on the SI thread. Backlash.

I know they were written by a 60+ year old woman but all I could hear in my head was -
Oh my goodness, what a wounded child.

I feel sorry for her. At the same time I am so glad she is not my sister or my neighbor.

Be honest.

Jeepers creepers.

You know something. I treated you with respect. And this is what you do in return. Some accusations that I'm dissing you?

No this is not about you.

I treated you with respect too. No need to get fired up....funny I use Jeepers Creepers around my kids all the time.

I believe you. Move on.

I'm relaxed. Don't you worry about that.

just about as cynical as I could be but that display of callousness was one of the most jaw-dropping I have seen in some time.

Then to be added to the *bullies* list by a person whom I've learned is a merciless supporter of such callousness is disturbing, to say the least.

Who needs yahoo or headline news comments sections when you can get all the garden variety sexism and racism you'd ever need right here?

I just wish it had been under less painfully awful circumstances.

Wow, how completely vicious. And not just that one poster, although she was the worst. I can't even wrap my head around that sort of cruelty.

Cruel and weird.

who'd supposedly been big meanies to her in the past. That she would use such a painful, intimate subject for those purposes really borders on the sociopathic.

and are active once more.

to brutally attack a sexual assault survivor on DU, and claim she might be lying.

Jesus that is sick.

Sick.

Clear as a bell.

She's on the five-hide time-out.

Mighty generous of you.
