17. the avalanche of backbiting drowns out other issues

Jul 2013

which are far more dire than the need to scream about who's more pure, where on the Liberal Spectrum one stands, who sucks on DU, who isn't supportive enough of the President, who supports the PResident too much.....

All these hundreds of thousands of ANCILLARY arguments are drowning out critical attacks on women's lives.

And MEN in this thread are continuing the pattern. Slagging me for how I worded my OP, for not thinking like they do, for distracting them, for suggesting that state-sanctioned reproductive slavery should take a back seat to their concern over abstract "Matters of Principle".

I don't see them getting too involved in saving women's lives.
