What you don't understand, is that this place, du, is a place of knowledge sharing, idea sharing and this is very important work indeed.

Yes, we women get sick and tired of the women-bashing women-hating crap thrown at us 365/12/7/24/60 and sometimes we need to gripe about it, debrief it out. NO BIG DEAL!

So thanks for working to help gain equality for women. But don't let the word mysogeny get you up into a tizzy. And harpies come in both genders.

Thanks for posting boston bean. Can you link to original post?
