History of Feminism
In reply to the discussion: History has been made [View all]JTFrog
(14,274 posts)43. Really?
You just dropped in to defend that poster who compared Hillary to some right wing assholes? The OP was celebrating an historic achievement for women in making it as far as she has. It's not celebrating men because they have always been in control. How does supporting Hillary or Bernie change that? And why do you think it's ok that he dropped in here and dropped that turd in the middle of this group?
Please explain why you think that was ok. You could have just ignored this thread if you don't believe feminists should be celebrating progress. I get that you don't like Hillary. I know you are a feminist. I don't know why you chose to defend that guy or make negative comments about celebrating an historic moment.

Another jerk here to tell us that considering more women to higher positions is pandering.

You are celebrating a woman because she is a woman NOT because she is liberal or anything. n/t

Of course you can tell the difference but you are NOT celebrating the difference in this post.

I'm sorry I thought this was a discussion forum and not a mud slinging contest.

This is a safe haven group for feminists and like minded individuals, not for disruptive jerks

But this post is NOT celebrating that a man is on the verge of becoming president.
