And in a comm about feminism you would think that it would matter more to be inclusive and women feel they are being given a voice, instead of many members recently admitting that they feel afraid to contribute anything in case they make a slip-up in not understanding the correct jargon to use.
In the example that frustrated me, the poster (who was only 16 no less) used the word skank in another comm, apologised when it was pointed out to her that it's a misogynistic insult, and joined ontd_feminism to learn more. After being met with this attack in the welcome post (http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_feminism/516113.html?thread=36021521#t36021521) she ended up leaving the comm in the end. So if the ultimate goal is to drive away any woman that doesn't have a college education and is well-versed in women's studies, then job well done I guess?
