9. What's with calling them "liberal"? Is she an anti-liberal

leftist? I agree with zero tolerance for men, and women, calling any woman who displeases them a whore. And agree that some liberal men--in much smaller numbers--copy this common behavior.

But I strongly question her specifically for characterizing this as behavior of liberals. If she were one wouldn't she herself be fed up decades ago with all the lies about liberals?
