Men of the Farms: is that true?“Men often react to women’s words—speaking and writing—as if they were acts of violence; sometimes men react to women’s words with violence. So we lower our voices. Women whisper. Women apologize. Women shut up. Women trivialize what we know. Women shrink. Women pull back. Most women have experienced enough dominance from men—control, violence, insult, contempt—that no threat seems empty.”

Because there have been numerous reaction threads to the Man-hate thread like "Actually, women do like men", and "men are good actually". I think it is clear that at least some of you think Null is running the pink forum wrong for having DMZ'd the man-hate thread, because Josh complains a lot about you guys in the woman-hate thread (which... was created after the man-hate thread, in response to it.) And then you all complained again when he moved the thread from General - Off Topic to Mass Debates.)
The audacity of you guys though, because it seems like you really do feel threatened by the man-hate thread. Despite the DMZ status, men are actually allowed to post in that thread, they just have to be pleasant. Can't you guys smile at women a little more? Why do you need 13 different anti-feminist threads to decry the one (or three if non DMZd threads are counted) active post where women can talk about men however they want?
Men of the Farms: can you prove Andrea wrong?“Being female in this world means having been robbed of the potential for human choice by men who love to hate us. One does does not make choices in freedom. Instead, one conforms in body type and behavior and values to become an object of male sexual desire, which requires an abandonment of a wide-ranging capacity for choice...
Men too make choices. When will they choose not to despise us?”

Because much of the time I notice users here who are just profligately angry at women in general and female users on this forum in particular. I have 113 users on ignore, and most of them are there because they can't really talk to me so much as string sexist phrases together with insults to form sentences. I like to think that these guys (and it's almost all guys, guys) have the capability to talk civilly, and that the anonymity of being online is disinhibiting, but

Do you even like women? If so, why?
