If she can be PMd she stipl has an account. Sounds like some sort of cooling off period is being enforced.

but she somehow got 4 hides in one day, a feat that seems to challenge the law of physics itself, save for the very LOUDLY CELEBRATING MRA's.

especially as frankly, the oligarchs see both sets as nothing more than the next bit off fuel to burn, but the way the MRAs came out and did the grave dance was outright ugly.

and I doubt SB and other feminists would. The problem here is a problem in general, and especially on DU, which is where a bunch of DIVOS (aka Male Diva) know they can wail on here, and NOT called out on it in a jury. They can act as aggressive as a bunch of drunks, threaten to "straighten you out" as one of them threatened to do to me, and know that any attempt to call them out will just have the right amount of "no comment given, juror voted to leave it" votes.

I did not see anybody that was a surprise. Then again, I see a lot of people still on here I am surprised by.

27. men's rights activists.

You'll know them by:

1) ANGER at anyone--especially women--who express disapproval of porn
2) insistence that men are the victims of domestic violence moreso than women are
3) a weird fixation on the burning issue of false rape accusations against men (9 times more likely to be hit by lightning)
4) accusing women of hating men
5) finding a way to blame women who have been harassed, threatened etc for their own predicament
6) defensiveness whenever sexism/misogyny is raised
7) putting women down via sexualized language, e.g. comparing a woman to a prostitute
8) insisting that sexism against women is either not real or is exaggerated or is outweighed by sexism against men
9) use of the word "misandry" without irony

I imagine she continues to read DU and as mentioned before, can get DUmail.

Hurry back, sea and take care until then.
