some DSA dude harassed my friend online
This is the assumption that I'm referring to. There hasn't even been an accusation that "DSA dudes" harassed anyone's friends, but that's the thread being run with?

Like if some DSA dude harassed my friend online, I'd be pretty loathe to go to my local DSA for the first time. Don't really understand why that's so hard to grasp.

but all that was claimed was that people, who might be the kind of people to go to a dsa meeting because they have leftist opinions, would be there and subsequently it was implied that it was unsafe.

I guess I didn't take it that way. I took it as 'some DSA-associated people harassed my friend, and I don't feel good going to a DSA meeting as a result.'

but surely those would also be unsafe?

not necessarily, there are plenty of groups that don't have "those dudes" in them because they were formed by people who didn't want to have to deal with "those dudes"

but how can you be sure?

they restrict membership to womxn and non-binary ppl?
― sarahell, Sunday, 15 November 2020 01:19 (three years ago) link
like one way to not have to deal with "those dudes" is to not allow dudes in yr group?
― sarahell, Sunday, 15 November 2020 01:20 (three years ago) link
so the "specific category" is men or leftist men?
― plax (ico), Sunday, 15 November 2020 01:25 (three years ago) link
it seems a bit far to literally say that this organisation specifically is unsafe though don't you think?
I will leave it to each individual what they deem safe or unsafe for themselves.

so would i. but there is a difference between saying something would make you feel unsafe and something is unsafe

why on earth would you think I'm saying that someone is not entitled to feel how they feel?

Pretty incredible how a bunch of dudes keep questioning the logic and making fun of a woman who noted that there are a ton of really abusive assholes associated with the DSA online, and that she thus didn't feel safe going to meetings of the DSA. Really beginning to understand more and more why ILX is such a boys club.

I don't see anybody making fun of anyone or questioning the logic of not wanting to go
― plax (ico), Sunday, 15 November 2020 15:27 (three years ago) link
in fact as far as I can see every poster has affirmed the idea that if one feels uncomfortable for whatever reason then one is being perfectly reasonable in declining to go

how about joining the group, expressing your concerns about the individual in question to the individual in question, and then if the issue is not settled to your satisfaction, expressing your concerns about the individual in question privately to the leader(s) of the group, and then if the issue is still not settled to your satisfaction, expressing your concerns to the entire group?

lol they gave them roses like in The Bachelor, drove around the city to all 3 candidates they're endorsing and took pics for the soc media. Genius! That was yesterday--today they're doing the Brooklyn ones apparently. I love to see it <3

tbf, though it's been a while since I've personally heard of such cases (again, off twitter), there were definitely some instances where the formal group/chapter mechanisms for dealing with abusers/offenders were clearly not adequate

assholes associated with the DSA online
We just cleared that up but you decided to dip back to it for some reason, that's not a claim anyone has made.
