place for it.

Nor is anyone in this group likely to be maneuvered into a position where others can disingenously portray their words -not that anyone on DU would try to do such a thing - as "defending domestic abuse".

Frankly, my read is that most of the people in this group find the tired shtick of the "DU Gender Wars" repetitive, played out, lame, and boring.

That said, I think that those particular examples from that list, taken by themselves, do not always indicate "abuse" but certainly may likely indicate at best a shitty relationship.

I'll take your word for it and watch it play out I suppose.

Trust me. You might find other hobbies more rewarding. People here don't really fall for it anymore.

There are other places fully engaged in a battle with themselves over it.

What we have now is more like Occupy Gender: some little camps for everyone to look at, but not a lot of action.

A thorough search of the DU archives will show that many of the same characters were starting the exact same flamefests, 10 years ago.

The only thing that's changed is, more people see through it and just don't play along.

Sounds like a matriarchy to me!
