Do any of the rest of you feel like this?

39. Yes and it makes me wonder why I am still here

To the point im seriously considering giving up completely on DU and moving on.
I miss the old days where we were all less polarized, myself included.
I disliked republicans but i didn't have the frothing hatred that I seem to have acquired over the years.
But I suppose some of that is simply nostalgia for a simpler time when discussions about ACTUAL misogyny could take place, where the people on the fringes (now called rad-fems) were patted politely on the head, and shooed away from the adult conversations.

now it seems like the ONLY people allowed to talk about gender issues ARE the rad-fems, and all others are either MRA-ers (whats wrong with men having rights?... and yes I know what the MRA are and they disgust me) or an apologist for the patriarchy or some other bullshit thing.

when did this part of the left become the feminist equivalent to the tea party?

when can we have rational conversations about genders again?
I miss those days.
sure stupid things got said, but, the discussion still happened.

How come we can't have good conversations anymore? stupid things get said, but we move past them and continue the conversation...
