The guy in the video does not speak for all the community.
Him saying these people are 'cast out' or 'ostracised' thats not up to him.
I don't like Racism, Sexism, all the isms', homophobia the list goes on.
But here's the thing;
Hating someone because of their views, no matter how abhorrent you find those views, Is exactly the same as being racist.
Your hating a group of people because of the way they conduct themselves.
YOU don't like what they say.
It's not up to YOU to police the internet.
I agree that those people were probably dicks, it doesn't make them sexist in particular.
Maybe some were young teens; They don't yet know the impact of words.
Maybe some were uneducated, again not seeing how it could hurt Dames of Destiny.
I don't know, What i do know is life is not black and white.
It's shades of grey and full of perceptions and interpretations.
I acknowledge they are dicks for what they did. People like that i don't tend to have in my social circle, virtual or physical.
These people will learn that it's not acceptable as they grow and mature through life.
If they don't, So what? We don't have a perfect, clinical, sterile world.
Finally, coming out and defending Dames of Destiny?
Good job! Charge in to the rescue of those fragile, delicate females.
How sexist is that i wonder?

I didn't say standing up and saying discrimination is wrong, is a bad thing. I'm saying singling out a group, which what this guy was doing. Making assumptions about that group " they are sexist, racist, angry" is how discrimination starts. Speaking for a whole community, unelected, saying "we think this" or "we think that" is more a dictatorship. You may not agree with their behavior, neither do i really. But it's not up to the OP to speak for "The Community" Any sane person can see it wasn't acceptable. It doesn't need pointing out. The whole video was attention grabbing and that patronising tone; it makes my flesh creep. His whole attitude is sexist. "Stand aside ladies, I'll handle this you will be too offended you delicate little creatures" Do you ever take a step back and look at life? I mean really step back. Hate is like a virus, it spreads rapidly and consumes. Has this guy even spoken to Dames of Destiny to see just how 'offended' they were. Probably not, he just assumed because they are female they would be offended. Sexist? I think so.
