History of Feminism

in personal discourse with one of the architects of Bush's torture program? I would suppose you contact the White House, or protest in front of it. Democratic Underground doesn't have a lot of FIRST HAND CONTACT with actual people in power. Maybe one or two people who look in our little website, but personal contact? Never...

so we vent here. That's what this place was all about when I joined. People Joined when Bush took the White House thanks to the Supreme Court. What could Democrats do? The thing do was come and meet up here with other Democrats and scream about it.. yell about it..VENT about it.

That's what this place was for. Then as time went on, groups sprouted up. Women's groups, all kinds of groups... compartmentalized.. allowing people to gain some support for fighting back the crap that was being thrown at us..all of it.

I don't understand what you are saying in your second paragraph. I think we both agree that the word "bitch" is just as demeaning as the "c" word (women's body parts) or the "n"word.. (racial) or the "F" word for Gays..etc. There are some women on here who are a TON smarter than I am. I went to High School and some college, but had to drop out cause I HAD a choice of being in debt for the rest of my life, or quitting College to get a job to be able to afford a place to live, and food to eat.

Some choices huh?
