Thank you for adding more blame and recriminations to those of us who fought as hard as we could and are hlthe2b Nov 11 #1

Unfortunately wryter2000 Nov 11 #2

NO WHITE WOMAN (other than trolls) on DU DID and this blame is divisive as hell. hlthe2b Nov 11 #4

The speaker is not addressing DU wryter2000 Nov 11 #5

It is a divisive post for a group on DU at a time when ALL WOMEN are being targeted by MAGA. That you defend hlthe2b Nov 11 #8

The OP chose to focus on the top of the video JustAnotherGen Nov 11 #15

It is patronizing to defend this. Shame on you. All women on DU are hurting and this blame misogyny is WRONG. hlthe2b Nov 11 #21
