In reply to the discussion: I want to thank the defenders of misogyny [View all]BainsBane
(57,796 posts)we were told we were getting all hysterical over that, that we had "our hair on fire." So reproductive rights definitely matter, which is why I mentioned them in the OP, but I don't happen to believe my right to be safe from violence is less important than reproductive rights. I don't happen to believe the right of tens of millions of people to not be owned by others is worth less than than the woman in Georgia. Pursue your bigger issues all you want, but why you feel compelled to insist the life experiences and concerns of others don't matter, I have no idea. There is a lot of that going around. So yeah, the message is clear. Nothing I post about matters because all concerns are not created equal. Point made. Anything else?
I observed that when the Hobby Lobby case came down, the people who had spent the last couple of years telling me they cared about "real issues" were no where to be seen in that discussion as well. In fact, the one thing I have observed about people who feel compelled to tell others their concerns don't matter rarely seem to find any issue related to women's rights that matters. Everything is less. That some of them happen to be women just makes it all the more pernicious.
