What would make this group "acceptable" to some people? [View all]
I seem to notice whenever someone wants to talk about a proliferation of MRA talking points on DU, this group almost inevitably is referenced, either directly or tangentially, as being part of the problem. DUers who get hidden or banned for saying sexist and using horribly personal insults against other DUers are often accused of being "Men's Groupers" (even though if you do a little research you find some of them have never even posted a single post in here). I've seen some "Why do we even have a Men's Group?" as if the very existence is a pox on DU's brain trust for allowing it....and others who seem to have a clear idea of what they think it "should be", and have decided this is not it.
If every post was about, say, prostate cancer, or awareness of make breast cancer.....would that be okay? Or is that still too, "troublesome" and "unnecessary".
How about every thread being about your favorite razor or cologne? Or is that too shallow and again, "unnecessary"?
Should it be about the place of the liberal man in today's society? Where we stand as a collective? Or is that "exclusionary"?
The suicide rate among men is apparently not worthy of discussion, by the way, at least in the context talked about here.
I'm trying to figure out what we need to do for DU to be just ok with us?
