1. The DU rules cite language used in the video
as being sexist/bigoted.

It's not like DU is the most progressive board ever in terms of feminism ... so I always feel like if you can't even meet the standards here, you got some serious issues.

2. Ugh
Disturbing video and a true creep. PMing and demanding information- yikes.

3. Thanks for linking that here.
That guy is now on my enormous and ever-growing ignore list. I didn't even click the youtube link, just from the responses, I could tell it was horribly sexist and offensive to women.

5. The mods agreed with you.
It's been locked. There was a transphobic one locked today as well - both with an explanation that the OP was determined to be offensive. I appreciate it when the mods don't just lock a thread saying it's turning into a flamefest, but they take the time to identify specifically what is offensive.

6. Wow. it is amazing that anyone would think that's appropriate.
:(

I wish I was surprised that someone decided to post it.

7. He's posted it twice now.

When the first thread got locked, he reposted it - same video, different cover image - even though the video itself is still available in the other thread.

8. That is someone who doesn't get the clue very easily.
At that point, it would be nice if it got deleted instead of just locked.
