In reply to the discussion: Why I joined the Feminist group. [View all]Violet_Crumble
(36,319 posts)36. Hey, hang around Texasgal...
Like you, I'm not an expert on feminism, and only found this group when DU3 started. All these flamewars and pile-ons are total bullshit and people need to grasp the simple concept that if they're going to come out with a post going on about another DUer, then chances are very few people want to read that shit and are sick of it. If they talk about feminism and women's issues, then all's good with the world. If I wanted to read a bunch of pile-ons, I'd at least go find somewhere where people do it with a bit of style, finesse and humour
