when everyone on DU should be at least being careful not to throw salt in that wound, there are now a spate of anti-women threads in which all the good old boys are talking about how manipulative and money grubbing women are. I don't think it's coincidence that so many cropped up right after that vile crap was directed at you. I think it's kind of a high five to the pieces of trash that wrote those things to you.

I don't see much that's liberal about this site any more. If they aren't bashing women, they're bashing minorities, or bashing labor or any other progressive group you can think of.
