Men's Group

Observation and critical analysis by whom exactly? Others within the bubble? That conversation has been had many times. Always the same result. The evidence of this non thing is some blogger of dubious standing, some "study" which fails the smell test, whatever.

I don't portray it as anything. Among some people on DU, these easily conjecturable ideas ARE dogma, but you'll be happy to know that here in this forum they are not.

What's tragic is some members' obsession with the "goings on" in this forum. There are those who truly believe that men talking about things from their perspective is anathema to feminism; a fact I find odd since most who post here regularly also count themselves as feminists... just not a kind of feminist which meets with their approval, I guess. But since many feminists on DU also fall into this 'undesirable' category, I can't say we're in bad company there. These same people also fall under the erroneous corollary belief that DU is no place for such "goings on", I suppose because in their minds DU supports only their views on feminism and keeping such a group around is clearly in violation of their sensibilities. Just a guess on my part, but one which seems to fit the facts.
