This may be a strange analogy, but hear me out. Ive worked in the fashion industry my whole career. I have an art degree. By most measures i am a peace lover, tree hugger, diplomatic person.
But fashion is a business, with profit and capitalism at its core. The womens categories/ brands are vast majority run by women. You'd think a bunch of women making pretty things for women would be a platform for supportive niceness. Sometimes.
Usually though it's full-on war. And why wouldnt it be? Being a brand means fighting for your survival in the market. The strong go on, the weak get replaced. I came to see the similarities to the world at large. I came to understand fighting for the bottom line ensures survival "for the most".
Isn't that what our party is supposed to be doing? Fighting for the survival of ourselves and those we represent? We are proving nothing by taking this stance. Other than we are an easy target. Weak. And as a side note, women can harass and be inappropriate too. Stating the obvious I know.
