I just tweeted to Chris Matthews

[LiberalLoner]

Please don't use the phrase "NAMBLA promotes sex w/children." It's rape, not sex. When I got f*cked at 6 it was rape not sex.

1. LiberalLoner

Ya know we all here love ya.

xoxoxo

[LiberalLoner]

3. Thank you! That's why I posted this here, not in GD.

Probably would get mixed reviews in GD...

I had to speak up. Lots of people hear Chris M. Language matters.



Thank you

[Helen Reddy]

5. Absolutely!

Language DOES matter.

It even pisses me off when he calls us lesbians "gay". Sir, I am not a gay, I am a lesbian.

[LiberalLoner]

11. Very true! +1

[Lucky Luciano]

22. Noted. I also did think that gay could mean male or female, but usually male.

Now I will understand it to mean exclusively male.

[southernyankeebelle]

2. Eeek. Good point. Did he respond?

[LiberalLoner]

4. Not yet. He probably won't.

[southernyankeebelle]

6. Yep, I wouldn't be holding my breath either. I'm sorry for what happened to you. You

were raped and it wasn't your fault for sure. I hope the person who did it to you gets his ding dong in a serious accident and it falls off.

[LiberalLoner]

12. Thank you. It was my brother and father who abused me. Have mixed feelings.

[southernyankeebelle]

16. Wow, that is deep deep betrayal of loyality. Gosh my heart goes out to you. You

bring tears to my eyes. Mixed feelings is very understandable. I hope you can get pass this mess.

[LiberalLoner]

17. I have already I think! Mostly anyhow...

[southernyankeebelle]

18. Good luck with your future.

[LiberalLoner]

19. :)

[Helen Reddy]

7. Let it be clear

I don't mean to diminish what you went through with my trivial gay lesbian language.

[LiberalLoner]

13. Oh, no, please don't feel that way!

It's not trivial at all!

[MadrasT]

8. I never heard of NAMBLA until I just googled it.

WTF are they? Pedophile activists or something? (I am serious, I have no earthly idea.)

[jeff47]

9. Yep. (nt)

[Cooley Hurd]

10. Jon Stewart defines every every entity that goes by an acronym as...

NAMBLA.

Removed link to YouTube because, at the end of it, a defense of NAMBLA is made.

[LiberalLoner]

14. LOL. Hey I hope others will tweet to Tweety too..maybe then he will hear?

[Helen Reddy]

15. Lucky you MadrasT

I wish I had never heard of it either, but alas! I have not the capacity to un-learn it.

[ismnotwasm]

20. Thank you

The words DO matter. NAMBLA insists that there is nothing what they 'promote'. They have a philosophy. They're also not the only group out there, but they've been around a long time

[sufrommich]

21. Thank you for this,honestly

it would have gone right over my head without a thought if you wouldn't have pointed it out.Words matter,so does understanding the hurt they can cause.

[LiberalLoner]

23. Update, still no reply, don't know if he heard....or cared. Oh well, I tried.

[redqueen]

24. Thanks for trying.

This insidious reinforcement of rape culture has to be called out.

You rock.

[LiberalLoner]

25. Thank you, so do you!

I'm making hot cross buns today, wish I could send some to you via the Internet!
