Sarandon. Anyone who defends Sarandon.

A post I did in another thread. I cannot believe we are even discussing this.

How ironic, this woman telling us not to vote our vagina, as she suggest a Repug, taking away girls

and women's medical rights, their very healthcare.

Ironic that, ya think? Of course as a Democrat, you would get just how fuckin' ironic it is for Sarandon to tell me, she does not vote with her vagina, and then telling me it is cool to vote in republicans, as they have already gutted girls and women's right to a legal medical procedure.

Surely as a Democrat, as a woman, or a mere vagina, you kinda like.... have an issue.

If you were outraged by that comment, then I agree with you.

The comment was obviously an insult. If you can't even own up to what you said 5 min ago, then it's not me who looks bad here.

You are gonna keep playing the game you started?

That you came into a protected group, to play some game?

When asking Dems to stand for women's rights, in the feminist forum, for you to step in here and give us a finger?

And you want me to step down and be quiet?

Did I ask you to "step down and be quiet"?

No, I asked you about your post so that I could share your outrage, to which you replied insultingly.

I agree with you that the post was pretty horrible and deserving of outrage. What more do you want?

Sarandon have the luxury of supporting a candidate like Sanders and then proclaim that if he doesn't win the primary voting against Clinton or not voting at all. They won't be affected by republican laws. If it becomes unbearable in the US, they can easily relocate to another country. They and their daughters will ALWAYS have full access to full medical care. Taking their daughters to Europe on vacation will again be polite society's way of saying she had an abortion.

But women with vaginas are too stupid to see her world view. Only she has a vagina and a brain to see things clearly.
Pondering out loud how it would be ideal to have Trump in the Oval Office will somehow magically ensure a revolution that will end in utopia.

thru the garbage.

Clinton said something about yes a woman that is anti choice can be a feminist.

I personally have to concede that the women on the left that choose Sanders as far as feminism is concerned, can still be a feminist, lol. ok.

Sarandan was a wonderful example of privilege at its best. The unlevel playing field. Obstacles put int he way.

The bottom line is Sarandon and the other women that support Sanders has truly put women's issues to the side and have come up with all kinds of justification. Women I respect tons. And yes. They are kick ass feminists. Further, and who am I to say.

But the total ironic behavior and demand we get from Sarandon would compare to white women in the 70's and how they turned off black women.

Personally, I listened. I learned.

I cannot thank the people that patiently taught me, showed me, allowed me to see. It has opened my world and enhanced my world immeasurably. So, though I am bothered with this, it is ok. We merely listen, learn and get stronger. Just like Clinton continually rising herself.

We got this.

I simply feel, we got this. Maybe it will open eyes that we would never have thought would open. Opportunities abound.

The outrage as they would continually, literally tell me not right now. We are focusing on other things. Lol

You get that?

Then we started being kicked off. Jury a mere tool to get us to shut up, because that much, we are not allowed to sit at the table.

I feel that I can now only post 5, or a few more posts before I have to get off for 24 hours. The game now is to get two hides on a person within 24 hours. Now, really. This is spending a lot of time and effort.Who wants to bother. Silliness. All.... so we are not sitting at the table.
