Men's Group

I refer to the bickering (and point keeping, tribalism, obnoxious back patting attitudes etc)
that can be found throughout the site and beyond that really do nothing to promote equality.

I don't consider mutual respect ("mansplaining", btw, not particularly respectful), equal responsibility
(caregiving, family life, etc), or listening (I assume you mean respecting opinions etc) "minor" or
in anyway radical. There are probably people here who do, but not me.

My complaint is absolutely NOT about women (and men) who are here to share important issues.
It is about the descent into internet, backwater idiocy....all around. There are people everywhere
engaged in it. Please don't put words in my mouth to make me look bad by assuming I think the
issues are "minor." I really didn't specify what I thought was "minor," the only thing I specified at
all was that I strongly support reproductive rights.

I am disappointed with a lot of people on DU too, among them men yes, men in this very group yes.
If I personally have cast a female concern as minor which you hold dear, I'm afraid you've imagined it,
because I don't believe (but could be wrong) that I ever have. Though who knows, I would certainly
never assume that all women hold all issues to identical ranks and standards of importance.

(As a note, I would hazard to guess that Bonobo's and my own interpretation of "minor", or any other
person on this board and beyond for that matter, are different. I don't generally extrapolate the
opinions of one person by association with another or others.)
