I've read three or four right now. (plus the minority that I had read as they were being built. I've been on this site for about a year). It will take me a while... I'll get through most of it. [ 18 June 2007: Message edited by: 500_Apples ]

Wow, that Rape = Power thread is a significant thread, thank you so much writer, for bringing forward to our attention.deBeauxO's 3 types of men made a huge impact on me. quote:
1) Rapists, those for whom rape = power. They are not the majority but since their behaviours and actions multiply and often escalate, these men harm a great number of women.2) Deniers/enablers ... call 'em what you will. They may not rape, but they use the benefits and privileges that the threat of rape / power over women brings them. 3) The men who love and respect women and who need women to love and respect them. They are appalled and outraged that other men have appropriated a virility that can be used for pleasure, joy, comfort, procreation ... and deploy it as a weapon
Then when someone asked about the #2 type of man, there was an excellent fleshing out by BCG. quote:
*Men who minimize or deny that sexism is an issue.*Men who deny that violence against women (which includes rape of course) is a systemic problem in which the perpetrators are almost always male. *Men who think that since they aren't negatively affected by sexism/patriarchy that it's not their problem. Men who "understand" sexism theoretically but do nothing to change it. *Men who catcall and leer at women in the street, in the workplace, in public spaces. Men who don't tell their male friends it's wrong to catcall and leer at women. *Men who benefit from selling women useless crap to "protect" us from sexual assault.
IMV, most men fall into the #2 category. Finally, deBeauxO's sums it up for me with: quote:
And then there's "well, it wasn't that big of a deal that he did XXX." Get over it. That is what women are taught.
That truth makes me very angry and sick. ETd to take out commentary that is now over here at the rabble reactions thread as I agree this is a resource that should not have too much commentary as it invites commentary. [ 18 June 2007: Message edited by: remind ]

Was there a particular reason why these old threads were linked to?Duke lacrosse prosecutor faces disbarment quote:
oldgoat: Of the threads you're resurrecting writer, I guess I may as well jump in on this one first of all to say no, I'm not going to just close it now for length.These threads are timely and still have a lot of good life left within them. I also like that they preserve wisdom (and in some cases not) from babblers of yore. If anything underscores that these discussions are useful and timely, take a look at the Duke lacrosse thread I just closed for length. Sentencing for rapists
quote:
Michelle: I've reviewed what happened over the weekend while I was away sick. I see that a lot of feminists were very unhappy with what happened in several threads, and it was kicked off by the Duke rape thread.I also see something else that is happening. We have very few anti-racist people of colour posting on babble. Those that we have, including bigcitygal, are marginalized, isolated, taunted, and basically treated like shit by privileged men who think it's their right to trample all over whatever discussion and analysis that women of colour and their allies on this forum are interested in having. bigcitygal tried to really talk about the Duke rape case from an anti-racist feminist point of view, and she was completely pilloried in that thread. I'm incensed at this. I'm incensed at myself for not stopping it, and for not even completely recognizing it. It is inconceivable that a forum such as this one, which claims to be feminist, anti-racist and generally anti-oppression, could allow this to happen, and I feel a great deal of responsibility for that ... This board is really unwelcoming to anti-racist people of colour.
