116. P-E Obama would do himself good
by spending quality time in women's forums to expand his knowledge on women's health, care, medical terminology, and stats to once and for all banish RW propaganda like a demon killer. I'm sure he would agree that he has much to learn in that department and will learn from the finest, but he has to be strongly vocal about his findings. What makes Obama attractive as an archetype for healthy masculinity is his willingness to learn, grow and heal, and women's organizations are there to help him along with brilliant peoples - not just brilliant women - who truthfully represent our diverse America, not Joe the Plumber in top hat and tails being unshackled on stage to sing Putting on the Ritz.

There's no need to get in a tizzy about democratic women. We don't roam the countryside hunting down democratic men for their genitals to boil amazonian witchie-brews. As long as we're not messed with for shits and giggles, for the most part we can be quite lovely people and DU men know it. And even if we all weren't quite lovely people, there's no self-respecting reason to marginalize our numbers and experience with old-fashioned 1950s drivel.

People declared on November 4th that it's time to move in a new direction, yes we will, and women's organizations are saying okie-dokie let's seriously do it! What I don't understand is why many in this thread are being willfully defiant of core democratic values. What's that all about? We finally get somewhere as a party and some here debate with the skills of a soft-headed Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin.
