(14,040 posts)as a "real" issue? Forced vaginal ultrasounds, not a "real" issue. Dwindling down the time a woman is allowed a legal abortion isn't a "real" issue? Equal pay for equal work isn't a "real" issue? The right to whatever healthcare we decide, not a "real" issue? The Catholic Church buying up hospital after hospital, making some women's healthcare impossible to receive isn't a "real" issue? The unprecedented amount of military sexual assaults and the lack of punishment isn't a "real" issue?
As for your list of issues that only Sanders is addressing, that is patently false. Clinton has spoken about all of them--you, apparently, have not been paying attention. And to think that none of the issues you've listed somehow don't pertain to women and how we are treated is mind boggling.
Yes, how dare some of us that don't want to see our fellow Democrats, even in a joking manor, refer to one of our candidates as a "Cunning Stunt" be upset and want to have a discussion about it on a discussion board. This candidate that so many people are trashing on this board may end up being the Democratic Nominee--if that happens, will you still call it tripe that she is mocked and denigrated in such a nasty manner by fellow Democrats? I expect that type of language from Republicans, but I certainly don't expect it from fellow Democrats. If I wanted to see women referred to as a sum of her parts, I'd head over to Free Republic.
