History of Feminism
Related: About this forumThis very truthful and joyful OP by Boston Bean was hidden, this being DU and all.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/125559277It 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?

PS make sure you read awoke in 2003's post. It was a compliment to you.

(53,431 posts)And its frightening that one segment of one group is so clueless that they feel that everything is about them, and that others need to be punished for that one segment's own blindness.

(96,894 posts)It wasn't directed at any specific person or person's, only those who hold sexist and misogynistic views
I wonder why some would be so defensive about that?

(14,274 posts)They will swarm and hide anything pro-Hillary. There's no question that a lot of Bernie supporters are anti-women. Modern day "Archie Bunkers".

(53,431 posts)Here's the thought process I am imagining: "Hey! I'm a sexist, and she's telling me to suck it! That's not nice! That's sexist shaming!"
It had nothing to do with BS supporters, though many furious responders seemed to think it did. But all the complainers jumped to the conclusion that it was about them. Go figure.

(42,649 posts)But it should not have been hidden.
Squinch
(53,431 posts)That was all the OP said. And it is a factual statement. What are you reading into it? What broad brush?
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)anti-HRC sentiment. And that is what I meant. But I recommended it also. I think the jury system results in many things being hidden for little reason.
And I am not accusing the poster of implying that sexism and misogyny are behind all criticism of HRC. Obviously at least 4 jurors felt so.

(1,000 posts)and it's really sad, your complete inability to disagree with someone without making slanderous and baseless accusations. You should be ashamed of yourselves for approving of it.

I hope you aren't holding your breath till I become ashamed of approving of it.
I'm beginning to think that there are a few of you who would see slanderous accusations in a grocery list.
AgerolanAmerican
(1,000 posts)How many actual sexists and misogynists are going to read it? Probably zero. The implication is it's aimed at Sanders supporters, and that implication is neither subtle nor missed by anyone.
Squinch
(53,431 posts)so I won't waste my time trying to.
Have a lovely evening. And watch out for those vicious grocery lists!

(53,431 posts)To me, that is joyful.
Your mileage may vary.
At any rate, the OP insulted no one other than sexists.
It seems "sexist shaming" is no longer allowed here. It's only a matter of time till "murder shaming" gets its constituency, it seems.

(53,431 posts)Republican talking points and beat dead horses, you should take it to the BS or GDP forums.
Scuba
(53,475 posts)... political revolution is only beginning.
By the way, it's the left, not the right, that fears Hillary's war mongering ways. I've never heard anyone on the right criticize her love of war.
JTFrog
(14,274 posts)All your fear mongering will not work in this group. Save it for GDP where you can get a hundred high fives for saying something nasty about Hillary.
In this group, we are going to celebrate the first female POTUS.
