Honestly, I've seen nothing of the kind, and other than that, their gasps and fibrillations remind me of my abusive ex-fiancée. Gaslighting to the maximum.

Hillary Clinton's Internet Supporters Desperately Want This Campaign to be about Sexism [View all] Bubzer Mar 2016 OP

very good post Merryland Mar 2016 #1

I agree. All the "older women" I know are distinctly pro Bernie. Bubzer Mar 2016 #2

I'm in my 70's and definitely pro Bernie. Duval Mar 2016 #36

Awesome! Bubzer Mar 2016 #79

Yes, "very good" except for EVERYTHING. :) We're not "desperate," Hortensis Mar 2016 #55

The word desperate was part of a title, but I wont shy away from it. I will merely agree to disagree Bubzer Mar 2016 #82

And yet here you are, partisan as hell. Why not Hortensis Mar 2016 #83

I'm not here pretending to be nuetral. Bubzer Mar 2016 #84

About 95% of the ones I know are pro Bernie hobbit709 Mar 2016 #5

Can somebody link me to this brick thing they're constantly going on about VulgarPoet Mar 2016 #3

Thanks for connecting the term with the act! I forgot all about that word: gaslighting. Bubzer Mar 2016 #6

Exactly what it is. VulgarPoet Mar 2016 #7

Yep, that's the correct term. haikugal Mar 2016 #77

I think this is where that meme began Electric Monk Mar 2016 #68

Yeah, I got linked here earlier. VulgarPoet Mar 2016 #70

Nothing else has worked so bring this out again. hobbit709 Mar 2016 #4

Nothing will make people feel comfortable about immediately denouncing any sexism kcr Mar 2016 #8

That's a non-sequiter and very disingenuous. Phony accounts of sexism is itself sexism. Bubzer Mar 2016 #11

Or. You just don't agree that it's sexist. Which is more likely? kcr Mar 2016 #15

Wait, let me get this straight... Bubzer Mar 2016 #19

Not in the context of who's right on the internet. No. kcr Mar 2016 #21

And we come to the heart of it. Bubzer Mar 2016 #25

Okay, then kcr Mar 2016 #26

Selective Sexism snort Mar 2016 #41

Right! Add a dollop of gaslighting and mix vigorously. Bubzer Mar 2016 #43

To me there are few things that are lower than... tex-wyo-dem Mar 2016 #29

It won't shock you to learn I don't agree, I'm sure. kcr Mar 2016 #30

We've already been around the antisemitism bush several times here in GD-P Fumesucker Mar 2016 #59

Yep. I wonder if the person I was responding thought it was low to complain about that? kcr Mar 2016 #62

+about a million! BlueMTexpat Mar 2016 #32

Thanks! kcr Mar 2016 #56

Their lies have disgusted decent Americans to the point where Zorra Mar 2016 #9

It's interesting that she BlueMTexpat Mar 2016 #33

The actual online misogynists are aligned with the Tea Party starroute Mar 2016 #10

Exactly right! The few who manage to get onto this site, dont stay long either... thank you MIRT!!!! Bubzer Mar 2016 #14

I remember a bunch of people here claiming an economic fix would be beat to preserve equal rights- bettyellen Mar 2016 #81

That seems dumb but it isn't misygyny starroute Mar 2016 #88

That dog just ain't gonna hunt. Fuddnik Mar 2016 #12

Sexism might be a bigger issue with an older demographic Victor_c3 Mar 2016 #22

The meme is quite noticable . TheFarS1de Mar 2016 #23

I'm a woman way over 45 and I support Bernie! I can't stand CharlotteVale Mar 2016 #24

As an older female Bernie supporter myself, the media keeps forgetting the other point... Bernieftw2016 Mar 2016 #27

They conveniently forget it, since it doesn't fit the preconceived narrative. Betty Karlson Mar 2016 #39

Not at all, just noticing an increasingly sexist tone here. Remember, it is possible to support anotherproletariat Mar 2016 #28

The American people were finally ready for a female president, but reject establishment candidates. JFKDem62 Mar 2016 #31

Right. Because telling a woman to vaginally disembowel herself with a brick is not sexist. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #34

That's so low! kcr Mar 2016 #35

Link, please? ljm2002 Mar 2016 #40

It still sits in GDP, with 136 recs. A DU jury upheld the vile language 4-3. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #45

Thank you... ljm2002 Mar 2016 #46

Why use that phrase at all? It is not just "crude," it's misogynistic. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #47

And this is exactly my point... ljm2002 Mar 2016 #63

Sexism isn't ever expressed metaphorically? kcr Mar 2016 #65

Nice attempt to move the goal posts... ljm2002 Mar 2016 #66

So, then. What do you think the poster meant, metaphorically speaking? kcr Mar 2016 #71

No, that language is used at women and it is misogynistic. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #67

She laughed at the death of someone... ljm2002 Mar 2016 #69

Correct - I've said "fuck him with a rusty fork" (or similar items) PLENTY of times about disgusting kath Mar 2016 #80

Hillary did not call for Gaddafi to die by bayonet. His own troops (rebels) stabbed and shot him. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #86

OFFS... ljm2002 Mar 2016 #87

Yes, it is common misogynistic hate speech aimed at women. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #89

Wait a minute. You were talking about Quaddafi? kcr Mar 2016 #95

In post #63, upthread, I said: ljm2002 Mar 2016 #98

I was talking about post 69 kcr Mar 2016 #100

Shame on you. ljm2002 Mar 2016 #102

I'm a lot like Bernie? Thanks! kcr Mar 2016 #104

Excellent analysis, I doubt it will penetrate the Hilly-bubble though. Betty Karlson Mar 2016 #38

so you might say it's a "Single White Female" role? MisterP Mar 2016 #42

That poster was protesting a DUer telling a woman to vaginally impale herself on a brick. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #49

That's repulsive. Did the brick DUer get banned? liberalnarb Mar 2016 #58

No. It survived a alert and sits in GDP with 137 recs. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #60

Well, I replied to the OP, not that it makes a difference. liberalnarb Mar 2016 #96

No. I suggest reading their whole post. Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #64

Not only not banned, but over 150 recs for the post. kcr Mar 2016 #73

Jesus. liberalnarb Mar 2016 #74

...proving that she has nothing positive and real, to run on. Ferd Berfel Mar 2016 #48

Hillary is the only candidate out there offering real plans. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #52

if you call these plans Ferd Berfel Mar 2016 #53

Your silly graphic does not list her plans. Her plans are on hillaryclinton.com. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #57

There is plenty of sexism and misogyny on the left. That brick comment vintx Mar 2016 #51

go f yourself is not sexist. It is said by both sexes to both sexes. I'm not sure why that poster liberal_at_heart Mar 2016 #76

Really? You don't know why they "added the brick part"? SunSeeker Mar 2016 #91

Yep. It brings out the hypersensitivity. backscatter712 Mar 2016 #61

no sexism involved oldandhappy Mar 2016 #78

GG is a libertarian who cheered when the Ds lost the 2010 mid-terms. His view is that struggle4progress Mar 2016 #85

True. GG is no friend of Democrats. nt SunSeeker Mar 2016 #90

That doesn't delegitmize his analysis of the situation. Not by a mile. Bubzer Mar 2016 #94

His "analysis" is not impartial: he intends it to have the consequences I indicated struggle4progress Mar 2016 #99

look, unless the fairness doctrine has been re instituted when I wasn't looking, no one's impartial Bubzer Mar 2016 #101

It already is. Namely, only someone who shares my plumbing... lumberjack_jeff Mar 2016 #92

So, because it's merely coincidence that Bernie just so happens to share yours? kcr Mar 2016 #97

I have yet to meet anyone who says they're voting for Bernie because he has a penis. Bubzer Mar 2016 #107

Well of course not. Why would they? kcr Mar 2016 #108

If anyone were voting for a man BECAUSE he was a man? Hell yes it'd be sexist. Bubzer Mar 2016 #109

Okay kcr Mar 2016 #110

My state has 2 women senators. Men have run against them. Rilgin Mar 2016 #112

Am I just imagining we've only ever had men as presidents, then? kcr Mar 2016 #114

Presidency is not the only election. Your claim is about gender and running for election. Rilgin Mar 2016 #118

No. It's not. n/t kcr Mar 2016 #119

So, the last person who should be pointing at women and claim they're sexist for that kcr Mar 2016 #111

That's quite the double standard you're lugging around. Bubzer Mar 2016 #113

How is it a double standard? kcr Mar 2016 #115

So your going to defelct and not answer the hard question? Typical. I expect no less. Bubzer Mar 2016 #116

I'm not deflecting. I'm sticking to the point of this subthread. kcr Mar 2016 #117
