History of Feminism

If I feel like a snark exchange-- very rare-- I can do that too. Letting people set the tone of the discussion or argument lets me know if it's worth discussing with a particular person. You'll notice I get into very few exchanges.

The "tone"argument/complaint is used by people who have misunderstood intent, don't understand the argument, or possibly have run into vehement disagreement over a topic OR had their ass handed to them at some point.

That being said, I see more often a tendency towards using sarcasm and baiting depending on topics instead of argument or discussion when it comes to discussing topics with feminists. Kind of a knee jerk defensive reaction. I no longer worry to much about it here at DU, there are exciting things happening in the world for women despite setbacks and atrocities. Feminism had, and has a huge part in paying it forward. DU is kinda falling behind in certain areas regarding genders, probably because of the MRA infestation.
