Re: Men vs. Women post of a few minutes ago.

This was generating a huge response, which seems to indicate that it was an important topic.

Why isn't the reasoning for deletions made clear so that we know the ground rules better and can try and persuade the moderators when they seem to error?

Care to give me a link to that response on the thread in question?

DU is Democratic Underground, a last refuge of the endangered clueless liberal...

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

SouthernFreebird was right on the money when she stated that it was going to be another freeper male bonding thread. It's all " My ex wife screwed me and all I got was this dirty T shirt".

Ducks Unlimited. A pro hunting group dedicated to restoring wetlands and improving duck breeding grounds.

Or maybe democrats underground, a slimey place where libs go to talk about their greeedy destruction of all things american.

I'm new -- what's "DU"?

It's a forum, like this one but much smaller.. Dedicated to democrats and their "issues"

(of which there are many.. talk about people with baggage, there you go)

Arrgh! Misanthropy = misandry. It's been a long day.

If they routinely answered the questions they get via private mail, I would agree. However, it does not happen with any regularity. As far as being his guests, I am a full believer in private ownership. You will find no one who champions that more than I. However, if you want people to 'buy' your product, you had better deliver.

As opposed to the "Isn't GW dreamy?" bonding threads that the women here have??

I'm not liberal. I'm a big Alan Keys supporter. I was just asking a question.

Let's see... it sure sounds like misogyny when some moron can't come up with a better answer than 'You sound like an American woman who can't get a date.'

Still waiting for a link.

Some people actually think the first amendment applies here

They would be mistaken if they believed that. FR isn't a governmental entity.

When a woman posts, she is attacked.

I defy anyone to badmouth Riley! This gal has a lot of sass in her!
(I mean that in a good way!)

And all one needs to do is spend some time with a pack of liberal women & you'll be much more appreciative of the splendid ladies on the Right...all of them.

[buccaneer81]

It's all " My ex wife screwed me and all I got was this dirty T shirt".

LOL! No, actually, the problem was she screwed someone else ;-)

[winodog]

I think the ladies need a "my ex screwed me and all I got was this t-shirt" thread of their very own.

OMG, I can't hardly believe you'd say such a thing... are you a woman? Get real!

[Utopia]

I have no idea why your thread was deleted. The first thread I posted was deleted. So, when the next (and subsequent) fundraising threads came around, I ignored them.

I didn't say that you were, sorry if you thought the statement "clueless liberal" (in the vast majority of cases, a redundancy) was directed towards you...

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Too bad you don't understand that what women see in George W is that he is a REAL MAN. He stands by his word, he loves his wife and family, he doesn't speak badly about people, and he doesn't whine if he doesn't get his way.

[philomath]

You sound like an American woman who can't get a date

sounds more like a puerile ad hominem than misogyny. help us understand why you think that discussion was directed against women per se...

It's all " My ex wife screwed me and all I got was this dirty T shirt".

Hey.. I am sorry if you don't like to hear facts and the idea of people agreeing troubles you but THERE ARE serious problems here with regard to equality and fairness before the law.

Leave the identity politics to the liberals..
