I don't know any DUers who oppose Feminism, not one. Could you point us to the anti-Fem contingency here? So I'm not sure who your post is aimed at, with its slightly more subtle charges of racism etc, something we on the left became very familiar with from the RIGHT, Limbaugh eg a long time ago.
I agree on one thing in your comment, though, drop the labels, 'left' 'centrist' and talk about ISSUES. That's where you find your anti-women, anti-minority, anti-poor politicians and their supporters.
Anyone who puts Social Security on the table for privatization or for Chained CPI which of course equals 'cuts' will not get the support of actual Democrats. Which is why they have temporarily removed it.
Who is most affected by the cuts in Social Programs? Minorities, single moms, (welfare 'reform' eg, devastated single mothers) the poor in general, the elderly, the disabled and children.
THOSE are the racists, the anti-feminiists, the elite who generally belong to the Republican Party. So if you're looking for racists, look for what they support regarding policy. I don't have any problem spotting them frankly.
