Something good about today and the discussion of the testimony [View all]

I saw numerous women commentators and host talking about the misogyny against stormy Daniels and the implication that she couldn’t be sexually assaulted because she was a porn star 20 years ago that just would not have happened there would’ve been discussion and left forums and feminist circles, but there’s no way on the broadcast media that that would’ve been discussed, it’s something to be celebrated about today

Sorry for run on sentence. I’m learning to post with an elbow broken. It’s hard sometimes and i tried dictation this time

Is is misogyny if you believe that both the men and the women in sex videos are disgusting? Chainfire May 9 #1

apparently that is not allowed Skittles May 9 #4

The question isn't what we think of what she does for a living. It's whether we think she deserves basic Scrivener7 May 9 #6

Of course that is true. I will defend her rights even if I don't like the way she makes/made a living. Chainfire May 9 #8

I don't think she's a here but disagree that by taking the money she worked against my best interests. CincyDem May 10 #30

If it wasn't important to Trump, why do you think that he paid her rather than taking her to court? Chainfire May 10 #32

I think that people that sell guns are disgusting, Staph May 9 #7

Does someone want to harm Daniels? Certainly not me. Chainfire May 9 #9

Please show me where I said that. Demobrat May 10 #38

😂 I don't think she feared Tickle May 10 #20

Firstly she is not a "sex worker" that in itself shows misogyny. She does porn films Bev54 May 9 #11

She has sex with men, for money, on video but she is not a sex worker? That is a semantic arugument of no value. Chainfire May 9 #12

I am not sure people are presenting her as a hero but perhaps admire how Bev54 May 9 #13

Given how many rich and powerful men propelled Trump into the presidency dlk May 9 #14

I admire the way she handled herself up there. Demobrat May 9 #15

I think that she handled herself well also. She is a bright and determined woman and that is to be admired. Chainfire May 10 #22

Are you done beating the crap out of that strawman? NanaCat May 10 #39

A porno actress is not the same thing as a prostitute. DemocraticPatriot May 10 #18

I am sorry, but she is a sex worker by definition. Chainfire May 10 #21

You may not have called her a prostitute, DemocraticPatriot May 10 #23

I did not call her a prostitute or imply that she was one. Exactly how is it my fault that you don't know the Chainfire May 10 #24

Pffft. I already conceded the point, DemocraticPatriot May 10 #29

If you can't attack the message, attack the person with "bullying." The last gasp of a failed argument. Chainfire May 10 #31
