I thought Skinner's answer to Bain in ATA was very good.

43. I think Skinner is trying to allow the site to regulate itself

In a direct Democratic manner. I don't think he'll allow it to devolve to pornhub shorts in video. Didn't he have a daughter a few years back?

That being said, DU does represent a larger community. There are plenty of sexist male liberals, clueless women who don't understand that you can't 'choose' to be objectified. They're out there. They want to talk about chained CPI and trade agreements-- as though gender should take a back burner. We all pick our own battles.

I will say though, since I recently started Facebook I've had to get rid of a couple of people, including my brother-in Law for racism. I have one friend, a tattoo artist who constantly posts pictures of beautiful, tattooed women-- all objectified, Who tends toward the conservative-- and just when I have my finger on the button he'll post something beautiful and life affirming. It's weird to find out you know conservatives

My liberal friends "get" issues like sexism and sex slavery and rape and racism and Gay rights , way better than DU does sometimes, but I haven't brought up specific issues like pornography yet. It will be interesting when I do
