Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I guess they won't be able to send silly alerts for a while

6. I wouldn't be so sure that it's the result of "hyper-feminists".

Lots of people around here enjoy playing games.

[NCTraveler]

20. How do you know the alerter is a "hyper-feminist" as you like to call them?

Do you have access to things here others do not. What is the handle of the alerter?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. aww. poor baby. nt

[sabrina 1]

26. Fortunately they do not represent women, just themselves. Good jury decision.

[sufrommich]

35. "hyper-feminists"

[AAO]

4. I only wish they could identify the alerter so I could put them on my ignore list.

People like that make this world a so much colder place.

[AAO]

7. I will not play their game - they don't own the english language nor do they understand it.

This is the very thing that will finally drive me away from here - women insulting their male feminist allies - not a too bright idea.

[cali]

12. Do you not grasp that broad generalizations- particularly insulting ones-

about ANY group of people, are offensive?

[cali]

31. I don't, and in case you haven't noticed, I frequently disagree

with women who are more involved in feminism than I am. I tend to see people first, gender secondarily. That doesn't mean I ignore sexism.

[DURHAM D]

25. Wow. I think you totally missed out on what game was being played.

That Alert was likely sent by one of the men who stalk feminists on DU in an effort to stir up shit.

[cali]

8. It should have been alerted. And what the response says is that DU juries are frequently

clueless. Hey, I know, let's talk about how much African Americans like eating fried chicken. Or how much Jews like making money and controlling Hollywood. Or how about how men are just horndog pigs?

[AAO]

11. If you can equate that to what I said then you are due for an oil change.

[cali]

18. It's precisely the same. That you're ignorant of that, is just sad.

What does it mean? That women are irrational and vindictive if rejected. Yes, that is sexist.

Know thy sources. (Congreve) Know the history of said sources. Know the historical use.

[cali]

32. I do believe you. But that's hardly the point, dear.

[sabrina 1]

38. The jury disagreed with you 6-0 and I as a woman, agree with the jury.

What should happen in cases like this is that people should SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES not all women.

I have yet to meet a woman in RL whose major concerns are 'someone used a phrase or a word I find offensive'. Been waiting for years now to hear this in RL from any woman I have met across this country. They have plenty of concerns, very legitimate ones, but this is not one of them in my experience.

[cali]

5. I take exception to your using an idiom that has been used and still is used

to denigrate women and "put them in their place.".

And i take greater exception to your using the bullshit word "hyperfeminists" to put down those who see use of such bullshit as "scorned woman", as sexist.

I realize that some of us... women are just too "uppity" for you. Tough.

[AAO]

9. I take exception to you too!! WHat are you going to alert on me AGAIN??

[treestar]

10. That article does not contain the woman scored language

even as a play on words. So the title headline is distracting from the point of that article. It is not only about women, but other Democratic base groups. It may have some good points but they are getting lost. The woman scorned language is misogynistic as we all know.

[AAO]

13. Please explain why YOU think it is mysoginist?

[Sheldon Cooper]

17. There there, now.

For someone who won a jury unanimously, you sure seem bent out of shape. Maybe you should have a little lie-down. See if you don't feel better soon.

[Sheldon Cooper]

30. Keep up the personal attacks, kiddo.

It worked for Dale Carnegie and I'm sure it can work for you!

[cali]

24. One more time: It is a statement that women are crazed and vindictive when rejected by men.

really? you don't grasp that?

[cali]

36. I'm referring to idiom you referenced; it's source and history and why it's sexist.

[treestar]

37. it immediately refers people to the saying

Hell hath no fury

Yet the article you linked to had little or nothing to do with that. We don't need that language to get across the idea the Hobby Lobby decision might get women to get out and vote for Democrats.

[treestar]

34. pretty clear

you really don't know that?

you know the saying and what it's supposed to mean.

[AAO]

14. The just 7 of 7 did not agree with you.

[AAO]

19. I said that as a wraing to the Repukes who seem to be clueless. Yes, I must have a caveman agenda.

[cali]

29. Did anyone say that? No. What is being said is that you are using a

sexist idiom out of ignorance. But when it's pointed out to you why it's sexist, you have a nasty little fit.

[one_voice]

28. Seems the Repukes are shooting..

themselves in the foot with just about all groups. If they don't get a frickin' clue they'll be sidelined for along time.
