Men's Group

I've been busy, but here are the results. I was #3:

On Sat Dec 27, 2014, 10:10 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

One topic in gender issues that I rarely see discussed
http://www.democraticunderground.com/111414660

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"risk of being labelled everything from an MRA to a misogynist."

If you don't want to be labeled an MRA or misogynist, don't make comments like: "Most women, at some point in their life, have experienced the power to influence or even manipulate men (or other women) with their sexual attractiveness." It comes off as very Elliot Rogers and I don't think DU should cater to those who push these MRA talking points.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Dec 27, 2014, 10:21 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Though the poster is obviously sexist, and the post is ludicrous, I don't think it crosses the line into hurtful and insensitive territory (and definitely not Rodger-level creepiness). I recommend trashing the Men's group; I have, so I never have to read this type of b.s.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter, you deserve a 7-0 Leave.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm very torn here. I personally think the op is some pretty nonsensical, mra type mix of cluelessness and self pity. And if it was in GD, I might agree that it needs to find a home elsewhere. But it's in the men's group which sadly is the home for mra mewling.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This entire post boils down to the old joke 'women can have sex whenever they want, men can only have sex when women let them'. It's sexist and bullshit, and belongs on the scrapheap, not posited as a serious topic on DU.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I didn't find the post offensive enough to hide. Why not debate the point rather than hide such opinions (and it is just an opinion)?

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
