Feminists

(14,860 posts)Namely the notion that most DUers agree that gender equality doesn't exist. Yes, progressives *should* know and understand this, but progressives don't always hold uniformly progressive views and, as pointed out with some frequency, this is a Democratic board, not a progressive one.
I stopped going into GD in DU2 because I got tired of the incessant bullshit about both equality having been achieved and men now being the repressed group.
It may be that I was reacting to a vocal minority, but the lack of challenges to those lies was telling.
The first assumption, that equality is preferred to inequality appears to only be true (when discussing feminism) in the Animal Farm sense of some being more equal than others.
DU is aggressively anti-feminist and I don't think that examining communication strategies will accomplish all that much.
