(36,002 posts)Why can't every group and forum be as placid to host as the Australia group, which btw is my fave group at DU...
Yeah, I saw that exchange yr talking about. It makes sense that the bad experience they had was back at DU2. I never visited the feminist forum there, but I sure heard about the fighting that went on in there.
I think there's some blocked from HoF who really do have a problem with feminism, some shit-stirrers, and at least two feminists who reacted to personal call-outs of them posted in there. The thing I noticed is that while the vast majority of DUers who participate in HOF are awesome people who post things that are interesting, there's one or two personalities that tend to be at the epicentre of flamewars, and while I hate seeing HoF tarred with a broadbrush based on those personalities, they seem to thrive on it. But I find it easy to navigate around HoF and for the most part avoid attempts from the 'It's All About Meee!' factor and participate in the much more worthwhile 'It's All About How Women Have Been And Still Are Treated Badly' factor...
