"The overwhelming majority of sexism accusations here" are accurate, in my view. It's just that "the overwhelming majority of DUers" seem to be pretty clueless. Okay, maybe only half of them, but it's too many.

There is little understanding of what sexism is, what it's been, what it does, why many women take it personally when they see it. It's not just about Hillary Clinton, or Katherine Harris, or Martha Stewart, or anyone else in particular. It's about all of us, and thousands of years before us, and believe me -- if YOU aren't sensitive or offended by it, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist when you don't see it. It's not up to you to decide what's offensive.

This is like white people insisting words, images, or the confederate flag are NOT racially offensive because they've decided they aren't.

I have not seen this "it must be because she's a woman, there's no other explanation." I've heard people SAY that it's said; have not seen it said.

So much for blaming us for it (we cry wolf so people get numb to it -- our fault). :eyes:
