History of Feminism

Bernie supporters here in this thread?

As you know this thread isn't something new to DU, and Hillary is a woman running for president and you know as well as I that the sexist attacks will come from both the left and the right.

Being on the left doesn't mean someone can't be misogynist or sexist.

So, I would hope that when you see posts like this in here, that you try to keep in mind, that Hillary, most likely will receive supportive comments when these issues arise, as she should.

ETA, I see now.. the last sentence to the post you were responding too. I guess I look at it like this. Hillary supporters aren't going to be using sexist/misogynist slurs against her, so I guess it is natural to identify member (s) of the group that have.

Don't feel like you are being lumped in with them. Maybe fight them out there in general population! And try to get them to see the err of their ways instead of trying to get people who are rightfully upset and identifying a group responsible (that obviously doesn't apply to you).

You are a good member here and I truly appreciate your participation here. Please don't let defenses of Hillary in regard to sexism/misogyny make you feel uncomfortable.

I am a very strong Hillary supporter. The only OP's about the primary election will be to discuss sexism and misogyny. Which is nothing different than this group has done all along.

I know a lot of members here support Bernie and I am very sensitive to that fact.
