This very truthful and joyful OP by Boston Bean was hidden, this being DU and all. [View all]

It seems that some people thought it was aimed at them. If they were sexists it was, but if not there should be no problem.

I think I'll rec it even though it was hidden.

Because sane people, no matter who they voted for in the primary, understand that a Hillary presidency will be another glass ceiling shattered.

And if a Democratic site can't celebrate this fact, then what is the damn point?

I can't think of a reason other than the jury being full of self-aware and sensitive sexists. Squinch May 2016 #28

That is exactly the point, the OP had nothing to with anyone except sexist and misogynists still_one May 2016 #29

It was painted with a very broad brush. guillaumeb May 2016 #30

What was painted with a very broad brush? A woman president would make sexists mad. Squinch May 2016 #32

To me it seemed that it could imply that sexism and misogyny are what motivates guillaumeb May 2016 #34

Thank you for the recs. Squinch May 2016 #35

That you people actually believe that is a major problem AgerolanAmerican May 2016 #31
