In reply to the discussion: Nasty, sexist posts. Why, dear God, why? n/t [View all]hopemountain
(3,919 posts)7. the more they attack hillary, the
more women will stand with her & other pro-women candidates.
enough is enough, for me. no going back, now - not to the 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's, 50's, 40's, or any further back. our mothers and grandmothers and their grandmothers before them all paid with their lives and endured misogyny and being treated as property, denied the vote, equal pay, leadership positions, and worked 24/7 to raise their kids and work ~ all for us women to be where we are now. we are not quite there, yet - i'll be damned to take one step back, nor tolerate women being shamed for being women.
the current gop meme is to attack hillary's age, her "fragility", mental state, etc., etc.. these attacks will backfire.

Yes, there are sexist posts, and it's inexcusable. Not as bad, but still irritating
