(57,775 posts)INCLUDING reproductive rights as a lack of priorities. The word hysterical is indeed reflective of emotional instability. I used it to refer to sexist reactions by some posters to concerns about the Hobby Lobby decision. You didn't read that post or the OP, clearly. If you had, you wouldn't imagine your link to a case involving prosecution for abortion more important to my reference to the Hobby Lobby decision which allows companies to treat women as unequal under the law. You are up in arms because you refuse to read for meaning in the use of hysterical, and yet you dismiss concerns about vulgar insults about another part of a woman's anatomy as nothing. Clearly there is no principal at work in your posts here. Your response to my insignificant issues is to post one of those same issues as a gotcha. So you get support by your friends whose singular concern is reverence for a politician, whose political fortunes takes precedence over any rights of the citizenry. So you tell me how using hysterical to describe sexist reactions to a SCOTUS decision is worse than calling a woman a c...t? How do you figure that? How is the denial or reproductive rights in Georgia worse than in the other 49 states, and how it is that the right to be free from violence and slavery is "swatting at gnats with a tiger"? You explain to me why none of that rates as important.
