(1,076 posts)It's not this one instance. It's an abundance of them, in all kinds of fora, where he dismisses and demeans women and their issues. He has a history of it, and only the most willfully obtuse refuse to examine that fact.
Do I need to provide the numerous examples of him trotting out his stupid "identity politics" sniveling that is nothing more than telling women and minorities to sit down and shut up and let the white bois decide what issues can matter when? Because that's all the stupid bigoted "identity politics" whining has ever been about.
Who the hell is that over-privileged poser to decide what issues matter to me, or how to address them? Who the hell is he to tell me that the issues I care about have to take a backseat to his almighty holy grail of economic justice (for white bois), which does a grand total of zero to address issues that matter to me, like reproductive rights, sexism in the workplace, rape culture, or whatever else I want to focus on that isn't on his stupid "economic justice (for white bois)" agenda?
Unlike that hoary schemdrik, I can focus on multiple issues at one time, and see how they all feed into each other--the economic and the issues that matter to me, and that it's downright stupid to think that there's a one-size-fits-all means to address it all. And yet that foolish old curmudgeon thinks everything can be shoehorned into his idiotic holy grail, and then it will be rainbows and unicorn farts for all!
What fucking bullshit.
Maybe you have such a privileged and entitled life that all that matters to you is economic justice (for white bois), but some of us out here have a whole hell of a lot of other issues we want addressed that are far more important to us, because they are even more constant threats to our liberty and our right to self-determination than filthy lucre.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
