What can we do about the sexism on DU? [View All]

[cally]

I read several of the recent locked threads and I'm just appalled. Everyonce in awhile this happens at DU. It's not always the same posters involved, but a few will join in on some feminist threads and raise a ruckus. Many women and some men get angry and go for it and they are the ones who end up breaking the rules. Some DUers jump in to support the sexist poster who attacks feminists and feminist ideas. I don't understand this place sometimes but this situation is predictable. It will end up with several banned posters and many deleted posts. What can we do to make this a more accepting site for feminists and avoid the meltdowns?


Caveat: This will get locked if we site posters or link to specific posts or threads. I don't want to continue a flamewar just try to brainstorm about a concern of mine.
