[whathehell]

2. What shit is she talking about?

Not that there's a paucity of it in this country now..

[TalkingDog]

3. It's the Zeitgeist... All the old shit is new again... Yay.

[seabeyond]

4. i figured it was the womens issues that are being attacked by rw. nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

5. The same old reasons for the feminist movement, that shit.

The "women are property" shit
The "barefoot and pregnant" shit
The "lower wages than male counterparts" shit
The "denial of healthcare from being of the female gender" shit
The "she deserved to get raped" shit
The "don't take her seriuously because she's a woman" shit
And on and on and on........ad nauseum

11. No mystery. See the guys laughing it up in the VA legislature:

Everyone in the state is paying for that low-brow level of entertainment with their tax dollars, including her.

Maybe she thought the state that gave the world most of the Founding Fathers would never be that way.

7. as an over 60year old male

I can't believe she has to protest this shit either.

9. +1 Perhaps we need to create a permanent office to work against

radical right selfishness, misogyny and misandry. Because people like Sanatorium and his sick buddies are going to raise their heads above their robes every few years, and try to lead the people back into the damn wilderness. The 15 and 1600's, when just a few "real" men ruled and made everyone's decisions, killed dinosaurs like Daniel Boone, where money was made of seashells and copper, are just too attractive from this distance for them to ever quit.

It won't be any different in 3012. Well, we probably won't be here, especially if we don't figure out what good jobs are going to look like in our future, and a workable public health plan for everyone, but likely...so I guess we have to stay busy.

12. I still can't believe that birthcontrol is even an issue.

It's like were back in the middle ages .

20. No kidding. It's just so bizarre! n/t

[siligut]

13. Imagine the shit we could accomplish if we didn't have to keep fighting the SOS

Maybe it is part of the plan of the RW that we never make headway because we have to fight to just not go backward.

[whathehell]

14. Good point. n/t.

18. when liberal is a dirt word, when OUR pols adopt RW framing,

this is the expected outcome.

15. Reminds me of this picture I took when I was protesting the RNC in St. Paul in 2008...

[kas125]

16. That's not me, it's someone in the crowd of people watching our march.

[Ilsa]

17. Yep, I was protesting in

a big city for protection of abortion rights and three women in their sixties were behind me telling me the same thing. And that was in the early 1990s. They warned me to keep up the fight or we'd lose all our ground.

[valerief]

19. Assholes keep getting born. nt

[certainot]

21. there's an easy explanation that applies to most of the shit we're still fighting- RW talk radio and

the fact the left has completely ignored it while it dominated messaging the last 20 years, with 1000 think tank-coordinated radio stations.
