The sudden dearth of feminist discussion at DU and other on-line places has been one of the saddest casualties of this primary cycle, which to me proves your point.

It would seem, that's it's difficult to support Senator Sanders and yet acknowledge the enormous sexism Hillary Clinton faces. Indeed, sexism of any kind is vehemently denied. With glee.

I love that last quote, and would add this, "one cannot choose not to be oppressed when one is born oppressed"
