Wow. Someone says that Sanders "will do the equivalent of making sure that every woman is back in

the dog crate in which she was born and lived through preschool" and then complains very bitterly in her protected Group that the post was hidden (and gets lots of sympathy, of course)

W.T.F.

(What is also disgusting is that that post was only hidden 4-3. Really, people?)

I probably would have said leave it. I think it reflects on the poster
more than anything. In fact it makes me laugh that she/he says
women will be put back in dog crates? It doesn't make sense!?
What am I missing?

A dog crate?

Nothing like insulting all the women on DU (and their mothers).

Why are there no sane Hillary supporter denouncing that ridiculous tripe?!

NEITHER of our candidates want women's roles reduced to living in a dog crate.

What in the flying fuck? My mind is officially blown. I've seen some crazy shit on DU but to honestly see someone NOT ONLY POST that nonsense and agree, but to be sympathized with and pat on the back for it... I'm just... Wow. Woow...

Can someone hold me?! I'm losing GREAT amounts of respect for a few users really fast! Normally, I give users a chance but, there are too many people crossing some serious lines lately.

Complaining about the level of discourse, and then dropping that turd - replete with 'I love this rant' and the clapping hands.

The pity party on the other thread is scary, too.

The poster conveniently posted that rant without attribution, i.e., there was no link to the Jezebel article. So even though the rant wasn't the poster's own work, she highlighted/bolded the "dog crate" line, which was NOT bolded in the Jezebel piece, and bolded ONLY that part. S/he clearly is in agreement with that line, and was making that the main point of her OP.

(Also bolded was the earlier part of the "dog crate" sentence, which said that HRC "is honestly kind of a savior for women". That assertion has been pretty seriously called into question in several articles and posts that have been posted here lately. But I won't get into that now.)

IMO, that Jezebel article was a real FAIL. After reading it several times, I'm still not sure what the heck the author's point was.

I wonder what the response would be if someone posted in this group that Hillary wants to castrate every American man. Of course no one in this group would post such a thing.
