I wish the Hillaryists realized how much they are harming the true feminist movement
Advertisements [?]
Constant screaming of "IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT HILLARY YOU ARE SEXIST!" and the claims that attacks on her are by definition misogynistic, etc. etc. and the high amount of recent drama on this forum over that just discredits it. Massachusetts NOW's attacks on Ted Kennedy come to mind as one from establishment. Who's going to take them seriously after that? Taylor Marsh's burning of bridges also comes to mind.

Feminists have developed a largely undeserved reputation of that all are extreme authoritarian Dworkin/MacKinnon-esque killjoys. Since the 70s the feminist movement has thankfully largely moved away from that, but this appears to be rearing its ugly head again with the Hillaryists (I hardly think "feminist" applies to these folks.) Frankly, Hillary's candidacy and the reaction in this manner has been the best thing ever to happen to Limbaugh and his types and everyone who wishes to discredit feminism.
