Baiting, from one of them "real feminists"

[boston bean]

I am a Democratic committeeman, I've run for office as a Democrat and I've fought for gender justice for years in public and private venues and to be accused of sexism by anonymous harpies is not only unfair to me (and to the others it's happened to) but destructive to the "democratic ideals" I keep hearing about here.

This site has about zero credibility in the real world, and nonsense like this "word misogyny" will keep it that way.

Maybe that's what some of you have in mind.

You're not fighting for a damn thing.

You're just complaining about things you don't like.

Save your lectures for some place that counts.

Nobody even knows who you are, or cares much. You are simply a compilation of tiny black dots on a screen representing various amounts of spittle over presumed slights. (And don't think I think I'm anything more.)

Gender justice? In real life I've stood up for reproductive rights, maternal leave, breaking glass ceilings and other things real people care about and can't let a silly word get in the way of.

And, this is not the Democratic party that I belong to-- it's a sounding board that doesn't put up candidates, raise money, make phone calls, attend town board meetings, address local or regional issues, or have any significant effect on local, regional, or national policies or elections.

But it can get into a tizzy over a word.

Wow, what a supportive guy... If this is representative of the Democratic Party on a local level, I'm going to have to re-think my membership.
