Didn't you start that exchange with a snide "I told you so/
We were right" remark?
Of course, unnecessary. I've always supported feminist/equality
causes, particularly reproductive freedom, and I think most people
here probably do too (Though, it seems they sometimes don't
express it well). So, other than to stir something up, I don't
know why anyone would post that when most people here already
agree.
I even agree with Bonobo's point that all the petty bickering
overshadows important things, like this (The entire SC decision
and it's ramifications well beyond HL). Probably could have done
it with more tact, in fact, I'd say he probably stooped to the level of
bickering the way he did it. I guess that goes with the point though.
Why is everybody sweating the small stuff when actual important
things are happening?
Low hanging fruit I guess.
The the reply, "Mansplaining."
I mean, what is that? Come on, I don't want to knock DU too much,
but pretty much every OP on this site is some form of self righteous
(deserved or not) "This is what I think and why I'm right, also why you
should think that too. Oh, and I'm awesome, give me pats on the back!"
It's the ridiculous tribalism that just bugs the shit out of me.
When the whole situation is like that, is it really any wonder that
laws and rulings, like the SC HL ruling, can happen?
As to actual problems. I really don't know how to combat idiotic justices,
but I do know I haven't bought anything in Hobby Lobby for years.
Small, I know, but hell, if they are too proud to compromise their
"morals" then I assume they are too proud to accept my heathen
money. Not much, but I've probably gotten 5-10 other people, friends
and such, to not shop there too, back when HL first started complaining,
or maybe it was something else they had done. On this individual issue,
that's about all I can personally do.
