and .... i feel the same way.

YET... this board can be used by us women, that will get us stuff we want. it has, it does. in discussion, all of us progress, are aware, are vocal, are doing. so.....

on the one hand i can say, that everything that has been done the last 3 yrs.... has allowed the board to become more hostile to minority groups. not ONE thing has been helpful or supportive of minority groups. intentional, or not. considered, or not.

the simple fact of creating an off board site, that specific goal is to parallel du, in insults. the ugliest. again. yesterday. i guess i had a man, declare i need to be investigated as a mother. that i abuse my boys.

what scum says shit like that.

and... this site is parallel to du. it is out there. and i am trashed more. hostile. not only hostile there, but brings it to du, also.

every step they have made has created hostility.

then we get the snark directed at us.

really?

yet. i was down. and a good number of the most wonderful feeling women held out there hand and we all said.... brush off, and get on with it

fuckers......

ya know.
