(4,035 posts)There's certainly no thought whatsoever among these cheerleaders that if liberals use these slurs against conservative women, what do you think liberal women experience? Do they think conservative hate-mongers are less inclined to use slurs against liberal women? Are they really that naive?
Don't they care that there's a huge problem for women speaking out on issues that they receive death threats, rape threats, and hate mail? Don't these so-called liberals care that women are being silenced because the price of speaking out on issues is too high? Already women must judge whether the price of speaking out is worth getting doxxed, having their faces photo-shopped onto porn pictures and having animations of their faces being beaten blue and bloody. It has been documented that these are typical reactions women face when putting themselves out there with their opinions. Even in Scandinavia this is a huge problem!
Don't they realize that the Rude Pundit and his supporters are taking away any moral high ground we could have used against them? Don't they realize that women see that their so-called fellow liberals have no problems attacking women on the other side because of their gender, rather than their opinions, and know that these "allies" can turn on them in a thrice if they say something these "allies" don't like?
