'...when I heard that I thought, 'typical male'...' '...the male dominated media who want to bring her down with baseless attacks...' '...seeing all the men attacking her trying to bring her down...'
all these sentiments have been expressed in this board, (apart from the first one, which was said almost word for word by Ferraro), and I'm not quoting specific persons so as not to break the rules, but you've all seen them.
Sexist much? I've never seen such misandry as that coming from Hillary Clinton supporters and certain public figures. Does the fact you are women mean you are not allowed to be attacked, or that you can look down and insult men?

1. If you see sexism towards males or females hit the alert button. |

3. Most men won't alert because many of us are trained that |
|
such misandrony is justified. And we don't like being percieved as victims.

2. Thanks, I've been saying this for a while. |

I am well aware of the wrongful sexism and misogyny directed toward women. I speak out against it on a regular basis, and fight against everyday in my classroom.
But the absolute fanatical hatred toward men amongst some of these so-called feminists if breath-taking at times. I understand it in younger women who are just becoming aware of disparaties in our country. But for the old guard to generalize and hate so awfully is ignorant and counter-productive.

There are some very bitter, nasty people lurking around this board.

Last night I was accused of being a sexist when I tried to discuss Hillary's "mistake/misspeak". When I pointed out that I was a woman who had always been very independent, I was told that some men were feminist and some women were sexist against their own. That was her ownly argument, and that Hillary had not misspoken but I had only misunderstood because I was a sexist. Evidently, you guys need to go looking for her, she is very eager to give you all a chance to be a feminist as long as you support Hillary. Good luck with that. ;)
