134. Wow, gratuitous insults, too! The last refuge of someone with NOTHING to say.
I haven't changed my posts. When one does that, it's apparent--there's a red EDITING line at the top of the post.

And you're simply being rude. I can read for comprehension, so you can cut that SLOWLY crap.

Sexism has little to do with support for a particular candidate. Some people are one or two issue voters. I know sexist old ladies who have "notions" about women's "proper" roles who are strong Clinton supporters. So you see, your assertion about candidate support isn't accurate.

There are sexists in all walks of life on all sides of the aisle. It's ingrained in our society, like racism. It affects over half our population and denies them full opportunity.

And it's WRONG. But it does exist, and it exists on this forum, too.

You give me a laundry list of the affronts you have suffered--and yes, you HAVE suffered, unfairly, too, if that list is accurate--and yet you cannot understand what I am saying. Or what RFK Junior was saying. He was VIGOROUSLY supporting the Senator. Not being polite or downplaying--he was telling the Obama supporters that they had it ALL WRONG. And they did. And the reason they did is because they couldn't make the connection between the female candidate comparing herself to the male late Senator, even though the similarities between them were staring them in the face. They automatically assumed that when Clinton said RFK she meant OBAMA. Not herself.

And that was sexist.



Have a nice day, now.
