Feminists

About three hours ago. In a thread I can't post in.

It's false. The whole lot of it. It is so false that I can't picture somebody saying it out loud without their tongue falling out and their nose hitting the moon. It is so false that the word false just doesn't do it justice, but I have a limited vocabulary, you see.

WE ALL KNOW that "pearl-clutching" is a dismissive right-wing meme used against people who are concerned about some aspect of the public welfare. I have had it used against me by misogynists at this site repeatedly. Has it been used somewhere in the world against somebody in the LGBT community? I wouldn't know. DU is the only place I've ever seen it personally, and I find it staggeringly dumb and rude.

Here's what I actually said in that thread, about an earlier post by the now PPRed poster:


Hell, I can't even spell it right. And anybody who doesn't know that the term was being used as a sarcastic echo of the people who use it to dismiss and silence just isn't paying attention, or is trying hard to preserve plausible deniability.

I doubt that it was even an LGBT person who alerted on the post where she used the word queer.

I am being attacked, repeatedly and dishonestly, around this website. Outright falsehoods are being posted, probably as we speak, to discredit me and this group. Anybody think it might stop if I died tonight? Don't delude yourselves, if so. Unless you actually are willing to fall down and play dead.

Anyone who dares to voice the opinion that women's interests do not always and entirely coincide with the interests of the LGBT community will be a target for the rest of time here. Another Miss California thread will come along, and unless you do all fall down and play dead, it will happen all over again.

Women to the back of the bus, if they aren't being thrown under it.


Have you taken the time to look, VC?

Do you see anyone in that thread objecting even mildly to the 100% shit being flung?

No. The tone is purely congratulatory.

That group is NOT the real-world LGBT community, and does NOT represent any members of that community that I know and have known. NOTHING I have said at DU has been said about anyone or anything outside of DU. And nothing being said about me at DU contains even the seed of a pearl of truth.

Do I want to be refuting every false filthy thing said about me at this website?

I actually do have better things to do with my time. But I really do hold civil discourse in high esteem. There is no civility without honesty, and as long as words that are not honest are permitted here, there is no possibility of civil discourse.
