I see. Since you are apparently an expert on her difficulties, and no doubt have an appropriate degree in psychoanalysis, perhaps you could enlighten us about the relevant problems.
I was analyzing specific parts of her post, especially her anecdotal comments I think it is quite reasonable to conclude from reading those specific parts of her post she indeed has some under lying issues which are causing her cognitive dissonance. It seems I am not the only person to bring that to light other users have also pointed out to that.
For the record, I didn't regard her OP as at all misandrist and I'm a heterosexual male.
Perhaps you may not have read her original post clearly. Permit me to highlight some specific points from Manat's post:
I don't throw the word misogyny around lightly, but in my personal view, this place is swimming in it lately.
b/c the response of misogynists is always the same - you're on the rag, you need a good fucking, you're a feminazi
You would agree with me that, one would be hard pressed to find any of those remarks on this Website, I don't think anyone has made such comments not on the publicly viewable aspect of the Website.
I dealt with this shit for years as a Muslim community worker, trying to improve our commnity. The last place I expected it - or want to deal with it - is in a place that is supposed to be a home for people who reject Islam's misogyny and want something better for themselves and society.
I think Manat is finding it hard to come to terms with her past, and that is clouding her judgment. I could post more comments from Manat's post but I do not want to embarrass her further. I think in the future questions will be raised if she is fit to moderate the forum without holding a prejudice against some members of this Website.
I'll also state that what prompted her to let off steam was that when she joined the staff yesterday we already had a discussion in progress about this issue.
I have not seen this "discussion" so I can't comment.
It isn't just Manat who thinks the frat house atmosphere is over the top. It's the whole damned staff, including me.
Majority of the members do not see negative atmosphere as is evident from the personal statements in this thread.
