It seems to me, divide and conquer works on almost every group. [View all]
This discussion thread was locked by Neoma (a host of the Feminists group).
Developments in society, and that have been brewing for some time, are no longer sublimated. Add to this, a whole new governance. Chaos, and inability to find ONE purpose are to be expected.
Compassion is in short supply.
In my estimation, MEN have not had feminists backs. Even here in DU. It is time to support our sisters while they increase their sense of safety and belonging.
I feel helpless to help. It seems that groups, believing they need some protection, for good reason, war with each other. This resembles the animosity that Blacks and Jews feel at times for each other.
The feminist forum, seems not to trust their plight in the hands of the general jury system.
They dont even agree how to term themselves, adding things to FEMINIST,not that there is anything inherently wrong with that.
All I am trying to say is, we wish you well. We will help in any way we can. You should feel safe. And there are many men here that will take on the fights you face. As I have heard from my own lips, others, and echoed, we are in this together.
The growing pains shown here, are some of the same ones in the fledgling democracies we have invaded into existence. Democracy within forum is a new development. We didnt fight so hard when mods were appointed from the top.
Give some time, and most important, space to screw up, by mortals. Just because people care, dont make them infallible.
This dissention is exactly what our enemies count on, when they scapegoat women, or any other group. Let Roll.
