General Discussion

The fact he even brings it up suggests he sees the threads as illegitimate. He could have mentioned the endless threads about 2016 and fictitious presidential candidates, Snowden, Manning, etc....but the point as always is to make sure feminists know their views are unwelcome here. The use of the word "immature" is also clear.

The fact is the Democratic Party is majority women and people of color. Efforts to restrict discussion to a hegemonic, white male agenda are in direct contradiction to who actually votes for Democrats. I don't vote for reactionaries who refuse to consider the experiences of anyone but the privileged, and I refuse to abide by a notion of politics that seeks to deligitimate the voices of anyone but themselves. People can simply use trash thread and ignore rather than bemoaning the fact some women on this site think our lives actually matter. That is precisely what I will do here. If I were interested in a notion of politics framed only by the interests of old white men, I'd be a Republican.
