I'm appalled at the SHUT THE FUCK UP and YOU ARE THE PROBLEM crowds. Those are some seriously demented comments to make to women about the hatred they have to deal with on a daily basis because of the chromosomes they were born with or because they identify as female. It's fucking pathetic that nothing has been done about this after taking away moderators and leaving it to the SHUT THE FUCK UP and YOU ARE THE PROBLEM crowds to police themselves. What other outcome could possibly be predicted? How do they not understand that by not directly addressing the misogyny or amending the TOS to include misogyny that they APPEAR EXTREMELY COMPLICIT in harboring said hate speech. But hey, they'll start a Men's right's group on DU. No fucking disconnects going on here... move along folks....
