136. Clear up my confusion.

You complain that, "These constant battles on DU detract from our primary purpose - by continuing them, you're doing the GOP's dirty work for them."

Yet I looked at the GD thread index by author, and this is the only OP you have on it. If the problem is that other issues aren't being talked about because of "these constant battles"--why on earth would you post another thread adding to them instead of any about "our primary purpose" that you claim is being ignored because of them?

So objectification is okay, sometimes? 1000words Feb 2014 #8

That's my understanding as well. Any reaction other than utter contempt for objectification was met Jetboy Feb 2014 #13
The difference is that people don't go into the lounge expecting progressive political discussions. pnwmom Feb 2014 #14

No I do not hate women. And yes, I know that women go topless in many places. RBStevens Feb 2014 #166
