Men's Group

I see a lot of this same thing happening today, not just on DU but in society as a whole, and not just as it relates to what I consider "the gender wars". It seems that people have forgotten that there are gray areas in all of life. More and more, it seems that things need to be either black or white--my way or else.

Its nothing new, I remember the bumper stickers "Better dead than Red", and "America, Love it or Leave it". It just seems to have become the normal way of things now, instead of being confined to a radical fringe.

I remember Bill Moyers did an interview with someone, I can't remember who it was, that had written a book about this. As I recall, he referred to it as a "team mentality" thing. 'My team is good, and Your team is bad!' He went on to apply it to the way congress is working, and how it relates politics. But, I also see how it relates to all areas of society.

This is something that should be discussed more widely, as it applies to all areas: gender, religion, guns, whatever. Not just on DU, but in society as a whole.
