I think that this is a matter of different generations

[question everything]

of, yes, patronizing and patriarchy. Not sexual approach.

Franken, Biden, Harry Reid and, I am sure many more of this generation.

Men touched the arm, or the shoulder of a woman as a form of support.

I remember the two minority leaders: Reid and Pelosi were reacting to something. Don't remember the occasion. And Reid put his hand over Pelosi's shoulders as an act of comradery, really.

And then Jon Stewart showed this and said: the hand, the hand.

I am sure that Pelosi did not assign nefarious intentions to Reid and probably was used to it, as many in our generation.

But, sadly, these are different time and if Sanders supporters are nervous that Biden is leading, among DEMOCRATS, then they will use whatever weapon they can find.

What will the complaining woman say about that?

Bernie Sanders wrote an essay in which a woman fantasizes about being "raped by three men simultaneously."

I think we have somewhat similar thoughts. Not identical. Very similar.

2. Nowadays I assume the woman who complains has an ulterior motive

I'm sorry I know we're supposed to believe the woman and we're supposed to be on her side.

Well what if she's NOT on MY side and what if she's deliberately trying to take down MY candidate, so HER candidate will have a better chance of winning? That's an ulterior motive and we need to be very careful. The RWNJs know how to get to us, and they keep pulling the same shit and we keep falling for it.

3. I coined a hashtag for this ratfuckery:

#youtoo

I very rarely do Twitter, so don't know if it's trending yet...

I'm not on Twitter either, but I sometime read the tweets that are posted on DU.

7. I wrote this elsewhere

I support women. I don't support all women. I don't support murderers, drug pushers, bank robbers, liars, pedophiles, rapists, etc.

One woman does not make women.

6. Actually, I think that is a big part of it.
