since du3, the number of women that have let me know they appreciate people speaking out for women. i was no different on du2, but rarely heard anything. though, it was probably easier because mods protected us to an extent, but since du3, men actually calling all women prositutes (2 just this morning) and it is accept and allowed and dismissed by jury. i have had more women say something. and i really appreciate it because we hear from women that want us to shut up, too. and sometimes i wonder. so to hear that someone does not want to be a part of the mess, and i get that, yet appreciate that others are speaking out, is so important for me.

this is a different animal for all of us to get used to. gd though, has been interesting in its development of this issue. one poster said.... what have i missed with all this on strippers, prostitute. lots, i wanted to say. though, the obvious is redqueens prostitute thread, this is really the hashing out and realizations for even before that. and probably before the pageant issue. clear back and beyond to the sports forum issue.

it is interesting the development. and there is good, along with the not so good.

but ya, to put self on front line again? lol. i have things to do in real life.

son forgot a binder and i have to get it to the school, lol.
