16. it was intended to be exclusionary

It was intended to exclude the self-described feminists who had persistently and concertedly attacked women/feminists in this forum, both in this forum and elsewhere, to stifle discussions of the problems associated with pornography / prostitution / the objectification of women, and who continue to do so to this week.

I see you have been a member here for one month. I say this not to discredit you, but to point out that you are not to be expected to have any knowledge of that history, unless someone informs you.

I note that you were posting in the beauty pageant thread, and that when someone posted, in reply to a post of yours:

Maybe if everything in the world wasn't sexism to a few people around here...But you're going to get this shit every time a post talks about anything to do with women and something even REMOTELY sexual. Because we have social conservative puritans here who just love to pounce on it.

you said nothing in reply. You allowed that vicious mischaracterization of long-time members of this group here, Feminists, and of other women at DU, to stand unchallenged. I would not have taken it from other things that you said that you agreed with it. I hope I am right in making that assumption.

Your posts in the subsequent threads in LGBT, however, do not inspire my confidence. I have no idea why you would speculate, for example, about the nature of PMs sent by me about which you knew nothing.

I have little doubt that the previous problems will recur in this group if the group does not make it clear that the posters in question are not welcome, and their kind of discourse is not welcome.
