I do not agree with men skirting their responsibility off. He did not financially support his son and left his ex to do all the work. That is NOT a feminist.

and hard core anti-democratic party person and Jill Stein supporter. Some of his tweets are flat out sick.








































Calling this guy a "bro" is sexist, according to him. Talk about privilege.



































Yet there are direct quotes from Sanders about women that aren't allowed to be posted here.

Yeah, maybe better not:

Gloria Steinem appears to have offended a large group of Bernie Sanders supporters by suggesting that his young female supporters are only backing the senator because of “boys”.

The feminist writer and activist made the comments on Bill Maher’s show on Friday. Steinem suggested young women preferred Sanders to Hillary Clinton because:

"Women are more for [Clinton] than men are. Men tend to get more conservative because they gain power as they age, women get more radical because they lose power as they age.

They’re going to get more activist as they grow older. And when you’re younger, you think: ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie."

BTW, please list other noted "feminists" who derisively call NARAL and Planned Parenthood "establishment":

Have you called Planned Parenthood 'establishment'? Ever said that the "women's revolution, which is a good thing, many women want to be out in the workforce and that's great, but ..."? Scolded women that "It is not good enough for someone to say, 'I'm a woman, vote for me!'" This is the scent for you. Share the Fantasy. Live the Revolution. Forever Feminist by Bernie Sanders.
