(57,771 posts)because its true. You claim it isn't true, then you provide a first-hand example of it in action.
"Gender card" is a right wing trope. It is what right-wingers say when they want to perpetuate sexism (and racism, through race card) without having it commented on. I get that passes muster in the elitest world of white bourgeois politics that pretends to be leftism, but it is anything but. I am a woman. My experiences relate to my gender, as much as you despise me for it.
I owe you nothing. I don't have to prove a fucking thing to you. Clearly the idea that someone holds different views from you is unacceptable. It makes no sense because you don't agree. Guess what? You don't have to agree. I do not care even in the slightest if you agree. Who you vote for is your business, but you have NO RIGHT to tell me who I can voter for. I understand this runs counter to everything people such as you believe, but you get ONE vote, your own. You don't get to control my vote.
Now go take your pal up on the drink and celebrate. You expunged another impure person from the True Cause, someone who doesn't think politics revolves entirely around labels and actually cares about issues. You get to expunge the unclean, drive out the people who dare to care about issues like human equality over the anger of the white middle- and upper-middle class at their bankers, who care about child rape more than the standing of great men. Take your imperious, elitist attitude somewhere else. I have nothing else to say to you again.
