My thoughts, in response to THIS THREAD at The New Agenda:
Wow! This is really something to read. Gay activists attacking Feminists and vice versa.
Look. This is how white male supremacy is maintained. They divide women against blacks, blacks against gays, gays against women….. and in the end … only THEY can unite. There are many, many more of US than THEM. We need to remember that.
White women (even Carrie Prejean) are not the enemies of blacks or gays. Some of us are a bit misguided, IMO. And we may listen to ... or even parrot ... the patriarchy, thinking that they speak for us. It is confusing… to be sure. But, the fact remains... no "Carrie Prejean" has the power to keep another down. Not until she has the power to break through the glass ceiling herself.
At any rate… I call for women (and men) of all colors and sexual orientations to unite and get a grip. No one is free, when others are oppressed. Even if that “other” is Carrie Prejean.
Oh, and I’ll say one more thing.
Laura Ingraham has an effin’ lotta nerve calling anyone out for attacking a woman’s looks. She is the one that called Meghan McCain fat. I think the exact words were “a plus sized model for the GOP.”
Gotcha, Laura. Meghan is pro-gay, so her body is fair game. Carrie is anti-gay… so hers is sacrosanct??
Give me a break.
Moral of the story: Sexism sells, and both sides are using it.

It's a screwed up world we live in. Your stance on Gay marriage/rights and Abortion makes you a target either way.
ReplyDeleteHey my comment posted. It's very hit or miss here.
ReplyDeleteWith the exception of The New Agenda, those feminist groups are a joke. Where were they for Hillary? Sarah? Bristol?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't put much thought into plus-size being an attack, since it's the new size 8-10. It's the Hollywood size 0 that's the new norm...lol.
