What do these kind of questions have to do with Gender and Women’s Studies?

Question

Google is a great tool, if we don’t know what something means, it easy to search.
I just go to the categories, where I want to read to learn something new or where I can answer because it is an area that I know.

Why this section has little to do with the academic subject?

Yes there is free speech, but hey, this is just too exaggerated.

1- GUYS: would u rather be naked, unable to talk & `stranded on the Planet of the Apes or be married to allegra?

2- Should neurotic [single] women with yappy dogs they cant controll...be destroyed by lethal injection?

3-
Why do women whom go to jail always turn out sleeping with a woman? I mean they cant hold off for a man?

4- Do the women around here make better men then the men do? Can the great alpha feminists please teach us?

5- What is a "BACK PASSAGE"?

6-If feminists don't want kids why don't they just get tubal litigation and shut up?

Etc….

In the last four pages 80% of the questions are like this.

I don’t even open these questions, but still I have to read the title, unless I close my eyes.
On the other hand, GOOD questions or FUNNY questions get deleted.

Enlighten me please. Ok there is a lot of hate for women, ok express your hate. But could people post sometimes something more interesting? Or is it impossible?

I know there are people that post interesting questions, but each day they are fewer and fewer, as people leave, because there is no real debate here.

And I know I will get insulted, I don't care

Fraxinus: yes it seems I need good long vacations from here too, fresh air and positive vives (gosh I sound so new age lol)

Happy Bullet: What about us women that are interest in human rights and not in talks about cosmetics, dresses, or relationship gossips? There are men also that are not interested in talking about cars, but other social issues.
I am interested in Gender and Women's Studies, it is not my degree, but it interests me. I believe in human rights (men and women), but not in denigrating either sex. Perhaps that is why I don't shut up, when I feel there are too many offensive questions. And before you say it, trolls like La Rose that attacks men, also infuriate me. It is just that those questions are posted more seldom, in comparison.

I was thinking the other day, that after have been here for a couple of months I am more feminist than before, because of all the attacking questions/answers. I am sure I am not the only one. Ironic isn't it?

Answer 1

-The majority of stupid questions in Gender and Women's Studies look like the work of immature stupid individuals.
-On the other hand, the sick crazy questions look like the work of sociopaths and psychopaths.

-I totally disagree with the suggestion that stupid and/or sick hateful people will go away if ignored. You're underestimating the sickness and hatred of these people. Abusive questioners and answerers are relentless, like any ruthless bullies, and won't be stopped until they are relentlessly pursued and permanently banished. If you look at the history of feminist, anti-racist, anti-homophobic, and political/progressive web sites, discussion boards and blogs, the organizers have been forced to take extreme measures to ensure the safety of people who wanted to participate without being barraged by psychotic messages and abused by the mentally unstable that love to flourish in an anonymous, public domain.

-Yahoo users will never get rid of these people by using simplistic methods of "just ignore them, they'll go away". These sick people will not go away unless ruthlessly tracked and banned by the Yahoo organizers, like the sick people here who relentlessly pursue users who dare to stand up to them. Yahoo Answers will only stay the same, with varying levels of hatred and abuse, depending on the energy level of the sociopaths. Yahoo users can do absolutely nothing to change this situation. Yahoo has allowed the crazies to take over large portions of Answers.

My time is going to be more and more limited, so I'm going to participate in a monitored feminist web site, where I can have intelligent conversations, with varying degrees of disagreement, without having to listen to a barrage of hate directed at women, people of color, glba's or anyone else who gets in these sick people's path.

Answer 2

Don't they look like the product of a really sick mind. Putting them all together like that suddenly makes GWS look a seriously unhealthy place. Apart from reporting all I find, I have no idea how we protect anybody young and vulnerable from being corrupted by it? Maybe I'll leave the place for a month or two - what else is there?

Answer 3

LOL! I know! I spend more time *finding* real questions then I do answering them.

Because panty hose and shrinking people are TOTALLY relevant in SO many ways to issues of G&WS.

We just have to try to keep asking a few good questions everyday, and maybe at some point we will outnumber them.

Answer 4

Disagree

Answer 5

For every ten pieces of trivia there are deep and inspiring questions like mine, that delve into the female pschy..and encourages them to look at themselves with a new honesty..

Answer 6

I agree -- the questions above are sick.

Guys, why don't you do like Troll-Shark™, and come up with something funny at least? The above questions make the guys look like bratty 14 year olds whose parents are at work right now.

Answer 7

1. Who is Allegra?
2. Use Duct-Tape on the dog.
3. Women are sex machines that need stimulated by all means.
4. "Woe Man". I leave this to the alpha girls.
5. It similar to the "Back Door" only used more often.
6. I thought Litigation had something to do with Courts.

Hope this helps?

Answer 8

These posts tend to come in waves.
Often these are the works of just one or two very bored, and apparently frustrated individuals, operating under multiple accounts.

Then the other lil boys see how much attention these posts get, and they decided to jump on the band wagon, thus causing and infestation of trolls.
The more attention we give them....the more satisfaction they get, and the more posts you'll see.
Don't you ladies remember the rules in Kindergarten?
The same ones apply here...
Little boys have always enjoyed teasing the girls...
its hard wired into their genes....

If you ignore them...they will grow tired and go away.
Give them attention, their here to stay.
