History of Feminism

I hope she can continue to mend and feel better about herself, and understand that she has far more support here than she may think. And I thank her for allowing her story to be told here.

As for the 'men' who taunt, and snicker, and laugh: I wish that the worst offenders would see this thread and stop with their bullshit, but they won't. They get too much pleasure from anonymously bashing women on the internet. Their identity is too tied up in vanquishing the evil feminists of DU, and they will never stop, no matter who may get caught in the crossfire. My advice to all is to figure out who the worst offenders are, they're easy to find, and just put them on Ignore. I've done that with many of them, and it really has improved my experience here. I do not miss them, although I notice that they still respond to me - they haven't figured out that I'm officially ignoring them. Maybe at some point they will. Trash Thread is also a great feature. I've recently started doing that also and it's working out well.

Thanks for posting this seabeyond. I think it's important to bring this to the attention of everyone and perhaps the ones who still have some basic decency will reflect on their words and change their behavior.
