Women can keep their mouths shut!
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 05:42 PM by jesus_of_suburbia
That's the new rules on DU.


Sexism doesn't exist.

*rolls eyes*


EDIT:


*Sadly, It takes a man to say it* What does that say about our society?

I stand with WOMEN. I STAND WITH YOU FOR EVERY FUCKING RIGHT YOU DESERVE.


EVERY SINGLE RIGHT! I STAND WITH YOU, MY SISTERS!

Seriously, make your case or just stop. What you're saying is inflammatory and not rooted in fact.

39. what is embarrassing is the idea that there is someone self appointed
to speak for women. what is embarrassing is that you go out of your way to poke at things until there is an uproar. What is embarrassing is that you think you speak for anyone beyond yourself. You don't speak for anyone but yourself. Say it five times. You'll feel better. I am only speaking for myself of course because apparently I didn't get appointed to speak for anyone else. What I do notice is that you are filled with anger and taking it out on this board. Take a break. Sleep. Swim. Go to the movies. You will feel better.

44. Actually giving a woman a free pass, that wouldn't be extended to a man, is sexist.

46. He's quoting George McGovern. It's not drama and hyperbole, unfortunately.
This election has exposed the sad degree of sexism in the Democratic party.

Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 06:30 PM by roguevalley
you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

EDIT: Jesus_of_suburbia is a male according to their profile. Maybe when HE tells us all about sexism and the women's experience with that novel concept, HE can give us his deep personal insights into the Black experience.

48. He doesn't have to be female to recognize sexism when he sees it.
Anne Coulter is female, and she doesn't recognize it -- something she has in common with some DUers, both male and female.

arriving, Babies are being born. If somebody wants to get their knickers in a knot that's not a big priority for me today. Life is really short.

19. Geez Louise (or should I say Louis)... People can SAY they are anything
online..

You could say you were a 7ft tall woman with purple hair and 8 kids.. How would we PROVE you were or were not what you say you are?

Everyone's entitled to an opinion.. If you don't happen to like what people say, then ignore them..

they are just as entitled to say what THEY think, and they have every reason to NOT accept YOUR "authority" over them and your telling them what they can and cannot say.. (Are you Ari Fleischer??)

24. I'll answer my own question.
*Sadly, It takes a man to say it*

What does that say about our society?




It says that even progresives don't TRULY care about a woman's perspective.

HOW FUCKING SAD.


GO HILLARY!

I'VE GOT YOUR BACK!

53. sweet jesus
"*Sadly, It takes a man to say it*

What does that say about our society?"

It says that some of its participants need to look at their genitals more often and not presume to know what it feels like to be something else.
You are not a woman, you can't know what it means to be a woman. The crap you might know pertains to another experience and they don't overlap
more than superficially unless you are saying gay men are really some sort of girl or vice versa. Honor your own experiences but don't presume to
tell me mine.

Yes, sexism exists.

It's just that sexism didn't cause Hillary to make up a story about Bosnia.

31. I think that any thread bashing hillary for her looks or fashion is
fair game for being labled sexist, but I am a woman who does not support hillary in spite of her gender. The racist/sexist lables are often used by both camps whenever they don't have a sound argument....

I think that Nancy Pelosi has a great fashion sense which Hillary does not have.

That being said, wardrobe preference in no way affects who I do or do not support.

41. I was raised by strong women
in the family. What I took from them was integrity, honor, and personal responsibility.

What I did NOT learn from them is that women should try and blame everything they do wrong, or that every criticism on sexism. Hillary and the others who constantly scream "Sexist!" are really painting her as just what they are against: A weak woman who cannot own up to her own mistakes, and always has to have someone to blame.
