144. Hmm. I can see what you are saying, but he definitely put the "protected" in quotes.

Possibly in response to my original email?

Putting the statement of purpose (above) together with the comments, perhaps that accounts for some of the confusion.

If I understand this correctly, coming in and saying "there is no patriarchy!" would be cause for banning, but discussing how *perceptions* of patriarchy vary would be acceptable to the statement of purpose.

Maybe?

I have to admit I have found many of the discussions started by members of this group educational ("rape culture" has been very eye opening), while some of it has been off-putting (the article that all male/female sex was inherently rape, or something like that just seemed odd).

Sometimes I mentally picture a bunch of warrior Maeneds dancing in circles around their confused victims while poking them with sharp pointed sticks, but I have a vivid imagination, and women howling at the moon and getting drunk in celebration of their own power makes me smile.

Some very powerful posters here, dealing with difficult issues - one of my favorite things about DU is how we make it work.
