REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is what goes on in DU's Men's Group. Men pretend that using adjectives like "dickish" is as bad as calling women "bitches".

Can we stop pretending like this site doesn't have a major problem? It's good that at least one instance of someone using a bigoted slur against an oppressed minority was hidden, but we all know that it's often left to stand.

But to have this kind of whining that it was hidden while "dickish" was not? This, folks, is the kind of MRA logic we see so many complaints about. It does not belong on DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Feb 15, 2014, 04:59 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is fine. There is a double standard, at least with these two comments. As for what goes on in DU's Men's Group, it's a safe haven, where things are different at least that's what I've been told about safe havens. There is another group, call it the opposite of the Men's group where members have no problem calling out other DU members and talk about women like dogs...literally. When comments like when getting petted one likes to go lower..used as an insult to OTHER WOMEN are a ok then there really isn't room to caste stones.

Unless you're going through all the safe havens pointing out bad behavior, you have an agenda that I won't help further.

This post isn't against the rules. Clean up your own backyard before you complain about someone elses.
