"and other behaviors that barely register on other people's radar."
Obviously not on your radar either. Except for lacto-vegans, who don't suffer the same as women who have had to deal with misogyny, and all that the culture of rape and violence have wreaked upon our lives and our society. in my experience it isn't about shared outrage. It's acknowledging the truth of what is being done, and the costs. It's about personal responsibility to make this a more equitable universe. And if you can't start by owning the context of what you have written, then you have no investment in changing the status quo.
And I find it interesting that you draw a comparison to the extreme views posted on the facebook page to invalidate legitimate concerns right here on DU. Derail much?
