Just why the hell is it that anyone with two brain cells to rub together in order to form a thought know intuitively that crapping on people of color or LGBT people isn't acceptable anywhere on DU but when it comes to crapping on women hell, DU has a whole group dedicating itself to that and it's a regular staple in the Lounge that's supposed to be welcoming to everyone. Are the women of DU supposed to be GRATEFUL when people "stick up" for us non-penis wearing folk when they say that shit shouldn't be in GD, but hey, perfectly fine for other places on DU and be happy to join in the objectifying in those places.

I personally regret that I let the little red hearts seduce me into purchasing another star.
