I want to thank the defenders of misogyny

[BainsBane]

341. You claimed NO ONE trivialized Hobby Lobby

You claimed I completely invented it. Clearly people did trivialize it, and some comments in those threads say things like "you are all coming out of the woodwork today," revealing there are far more than the OPs of these threads. Additionally, many DUers rallied around Quinnox when he was PPR'd and blamed a feminist horde for his downfall.

There is a common pattern. Someone repeatedly posts misogynist crap, rarely gets hides, feminists are blamed for calling him out and we get hides. Then when the admins finally PPR him, the person is defended. Then months later you all say, oh he was a troll. They circle the wagons, and then pretend they had no part in any of it. It doesn't pass the smell test.

Then there is the fact that in this very thread people are claiming the issues I care about amount to nothing, the sisters of perpetual outrage. The evidence is everywhere. I talk about Violence against women, human bondage, rape, declaring women unequal under the law, they declare them not real issues. People are making those claims in this very thread. Now you engage in a transparent ploy to get me to call out posters and get hides.

You falsely accused me and you don't even have the integrity to admit it. Understand this: I owe you nothing. You do not have approval over my Democratic right to exercise my vote as I see fit. I support a Democrat, on a site organized around support for the Democratic party. MY vote does not belong to you, no more than I do.

Now, rather than demanding ordinary voters justify their exercising of their Democratic rights to you, like you have some right to decide if they are fit to exercise them, why don't you show some courage and go ask the owners of this site to justify their support for Clinton? Why don't you ask the membership of this site that loathes Hillary Clinton and sees her as allied with corporate interests why they continue to contribute financially to a site whose owners support her? Why don't you ask yourself why you lack the courage of your convictions to actually act on your opposition to Clinton and those connected to her financially rather than demanding ordinary voters with no power or financial connection to the campaign justify how they choose to exercise their right to vote?
