In reply to the discussion: I'm a little peeved, to put it lightly [View all]ZombieHorde
(29,047 posts)32. I suspect this is a marketing issue.
I think most DUers agree with the most basic tenets/values of feminism: 1) equality is preferable over inequality; 2) gender equality currently doesn't exist; 3) steps can be taken to help remedy this situation.
I wonder what communication strategies we should use to get our various points across more effectively.
Should we stick to broad topics, and then ask pointed questions so the yet-to-be-converted will come to the desired conclusions?
Should we use humor?
Should we mostly stick to sexism in the media, so it is less personal to fellow DUers?
Improvements have been made from generation to generation, so maybe new communication tactics aren't needed?
I don't really know. What do you think?

I've got a suggestion, and it's aimed at everyone, including our vindictive alerter...

IMHO, there's not one vindictive alerter, there are many alerters acting in good faith.

My starting assumptions could be naive, but I lean toward the vocal minority "theory."

Except perhaps for a few trolls, the FR folks self identify as anti-Democrat.
