Cindy's movement has been largely a matriarchal one. A lot of people commented on this fact during Camp Casey. The women led the struggle.

Cindy. Code Pink. Even the women at DU rallied for Cindy in a way we didn't dare publically admit. It was in the subtext of every conversation I had about Cindy with other DU women though, largely unspoken: Cindy was one of us. Speaking from the heart of a woman. Her voice was our voice. We were empowered by her struggle.

For once, white males didn't exclusively run the show. Yet a whole lot of them sniped from the sidelines.

Same with ANSWER.

Maybe this is really the issue no one wants to address.

The white male power structure is being challenged by women and minorities. And gosh darn it they don't all think like white men want them to think. Surprise.
