"The vagina and uterus swipes have got to stop: Killer Mike’s “uterus” comment about Hillary hurts

[DemonGoddess]

16. Great article!

I suppose when I cast my vote for Hillary in my state primary that it will have devolved even further. Not only will my uterus and vagina be voting, but so will my fallopian tubes! And ovaries! So, by doing the math, then I should be able to cast six votes, yes?
NOT a stab at our candidate, just to be clear.

It's a logical progression, you see. The human who owns the uterus casts the vote. The uterus casts the vote. So, right there, are TWO votes. Add the vagina, that's now THREE.

I detest this sort of rhetoric which reduces women to their reproductive organs. We are so much MORE than that. That Sanders defended the remark by not SAYING ANYTHING against it, speaks volumes to me. Yes, I say that was a defense. Why call Killer Mike on his sexist remarks? After all, Sanders himself didn't say it, even though he was RIGHT THERE when he DID. If this man truly has the best interests of women in mind in his campaign, he should have stood up and stopped the bullshit at his own rally.

Do you know why my millennial daughter, who started out as a Sanders supporter is now a Clinton supporter? I'll tell you why. The more she researched Mr. Sanders, the more she saw that he is really not the champion we need, as women. She said, flat out, that he doesn't support her own values and views, as evidenced by his own political record in Congress. Further, as a lesbian, she sees CLINTON as the candidate who will move things forward, not Sanders. When she started on her road of discovery in to the candidates, I simply asked her to research a bit more. She did. The results of her research were a change in who she supports. Yet, when it comes time for her to cast her vote?

It's the UTERUS!
