Are you trying to imply Obama supports those things? Are you trying to imply he doesn't care? Are you saying that with Hillary in charge those things magically disappear? Are you saying the only things worth voting on are the war, health care, and then sexism in general? Racism doesn't matter, poverty doesn't matter, the inequalities wrought by rampant capitalism don't matter? Can we pass a law against sexism? Hey, presto: it's gone! Let's pass a law against war next!<BR/><BR/>It's perfectly appropriate to oppose Obama for purported weaknesses on progressive policy issues, and it's perfectly appropriate to try to push him more our way on those.

Part of the project of feminism is so that women can be called out for being wrong not because they are women, but because they are wrong. Whenever a (female by claim) Hillary supporter has said she lost the nomination because of sexism, I say: I disagree. Sexism played a part, but to insist that this was the driving force, is wrong. It is also wrong to see every attack, every slight, every challenge, through the prism of sexism. All you're doing is binding yourself. Meanwhile, by couching your argument in these terms, you're willfully ignoring the extent to which racism was also a factor in this campaign.<BR/><BR/>Flip it around for a moment: how can any (non-female) person mount a challenge to folks like you without being labeled sexist? How can anyone here lay claim to feelings of structural or sociological obstacles to the full realization of their human potential without folks like you throwing your gender around in a "let's talk about who has it worse" pissing contest? Patriarchy is a system that damages men, too. Your words here seem to imply that men are the enemy, that women are always the victims, and that as a woman you are immune to any criticism of your allegedly anti-sexist position. If that's so, the only thing you're doing is essentializing gender, which is vital to the maintenance of patriarchy. <BR/><BR/>In short: as a PERSON, you are entitled to your opinion, and as a PERSON I'm entitled to tell you that this is not all about you, that sexism does not automatically trump other anti-human "isms" out there, and that as a PERSON, I think you are an idiot if out of anger about sexism in this campaign you will vote for McCain, who, as pacosdad has pointed out, will move backward at a time in history where we positively must move forward for risk of losing it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-17576973650677372402008-06-15T18:08:00.000-04:002008-06-15T18:08:00.000-04:00I want so add to my sister's (my real biological s...I want so add to my sister's (my real biological sister and not in the sense of "bro" and feminism)) comment about the double standard.

I think the point Rich is making is that McCain's pandering on the gas issue is such bad policy that even Neocons hate the notion (quick aside: Fukuyama has recently repudiated his "end of history" thesis and neoconservatism more generally). Murdoch flirts with Obama to the extent that he wants influence and above even his conservatism loves money, and Obama drives ratings (this is my guess). Also, conservatives are not at all excited by McCain.<BR/><BR/>I don't see this as being about Obama's progressive vs. conservative cred at all. I see it as being about (1) realists who are bashing McCain's pandering; (2) GOP judo, whereby by embracing Obama they're making folks like you re-think their support; (3) making McCain, who has been much loathed among conservatives, the sacrificial lamb in order to have a triumphant return in 2012 (they fucking hate McCain, or haven't you noticed?); (4) some combination of these, in addition to some other machination I can't foresee. <BR/><BR/>BTW, Pacosdad: really, really excellent posts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-35232098283766202182008-06-15T12:05:00.000-04:002008-06-15T12:05:00.000-04:00In the NYTimes today Frank Rich brags about how we...In the NYTimes today Frank Rich brags about how well Obama is doing and how badly MCCain is doing And what makes him so happy?

I am truly sorry for your pain and suffering. Thank you for sharing. It allows me and others to see what another and others are going through. <BR/><BR/>There's not much I can think of that would be helpful to say. The only thing I can think of as a solution to your problems,my problems and the world's problems has been said before. The answer is love. Not the sentimental love of greeting cards, but the universal acceptance of all as worthy and deserving of the best. I know that probably sounds trite these days and simplistic and naive. But I didn't make it up. <BR/><BR/>Now to slip back to the immediate problem for me in that regard. The church which Obama attended for twenty years teaches hate and revenge. That bothers me above anything else. It's bad enough that some come into our lives and experience as "sheep in wolves clothing" and fool us, but that church makes no attempt to hide its hatred. Hatred is the cause of most if not all of the troubles in the world. Obama lived and moved and breathed in that atmosphere. I have no confidence in him.<BR/><BR/>Again, I don't want to argue with you are anybody else. And, again, thank you for your sharing.

Gay, male, HIV+, alone, just lost my home, parents in assisted living, and not certain of the prospects of any of these things changing or improving. Ah, yes, so lucky. Yet I seek the greater benefit for the country, for my party, my family and friends, all those who have lost their homes to disasters and have been forgotten, the soldiers who have fought and died for an ill-begotten war, equality for all races and genders, and that whole pursuit of happiness thing as written in the Constitution. That means you, too, my friend. McCain and his ilk will set us back decades, if not forever. The only chance we have as a people, as a party, as a country, is to try and bridge these differences so to acquire those things we most desire. The fight should not, at this point, be over the Democratic candidates, it should be to make our candidate the President. I would be as willing to work for Hillary as Obama if that was how it turned out, because I KNOW that is the only chance we have. The other side wants to reverse all of the things we have gained - for what purpose? Who knows? They change their stories so much it's hard to tell whether they are lying or lying. So you see, I don't want to "leave you alone to deal with that aspect", because that affects me, too, just as it affects all of us. I only ask you to look at the larger picture and try and remember - first we need to win the election. The monumental step this country has taken by having as its two major Dem. candidates a woman and an African-American man is so utterly incredible, and so hopeful, that the changes that CAN happen to solve these other issues may be just around the corner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-18050564178579106812008-06-14T22:52:00.000-04:002008-06-14T22:52:00.000-04:008:06 We are getting waay off topic here, but I did...8:06 We are getting waay off topic here, but I did want to say one quick thing to your comment about your brother and telling everybody. No, no, no, no, no. I live in the south, too, and you are absolutely correct that it is nobody’s business at all whether someone is gay or not. Interestingly, you said that the only ones in your family who know about him are you and your grandmother, and nobody cares, but he doesn’t want to tell others, like his mother. Well, obviously somebody cares. My point about “passing” was that it so sad and wrong that it has to happen, and that people still feel the need to hide out of fear of rejection or even sometimes violence. But to be told that that is how one must or should lead one’s life is not a happy way to live, and is unacceptable. Your brother should never have to tell anyone anything about himself if he chooses not to, but to be unable to tell anyone about himself if he DOES want to is the painful, hurtful part. It should always be his choice, in his time, and he is very lucky to have the love and acceptance you have for him.

He's not about to start up with my mother or the peoeple in this town here in the south. I don't see anything wrong with that at all. It's nobodys business if he doesn't want to tell them.

I for one choose to pass on the opportunity to "get" it, if by "getting it" means reversing the progress that was made by the efforts and suffering of countless women, people of color, and gays, in order to satisfy your anger. How DARE you suggest that that is an appropriate action to take? You could possibly "pass" as a man if you so chose, and the effort and result would be just as unseemly, degrading, false, and ineffective as a gay man "passing". How DARE you even suggest that yours is the only hardship that counts? Do you have any recollection AT ALL of how many people, no, make that Americans, DIED because of the inaction of the Reagan administration to even speak about AIDS? DIED, "anonymous", no matter what gender, color, or sexual persuasion. But that just pales in comparison, doesn't it, to what you, personally, must have somehow suffered. If a woman, or Hillary, being President is the ONLY thing that matters to you, then perhaps I was mistaken. Sit this one out. Do the rest of us less harm by not injecting your hateful prejudice into the process this time. It takes a lot to offend me these days, what with the constant drubbing from the most criminal administration in memory still working hard at all the destruction it can muster, but you just about managed to do it. <BR/>Just to be clear, the remarks about Michelle Obama were offensive, period. They were offensive to her as a woman, and as an African-American. The remarks made about Hillary were offensive to her as a woman, a person of accomplishment (of ANY gender), and beneath the dignity of the election process. The remarks hurled at _____ were offensive because they were made by uninformed, bigoted, fascist, misogynist, "conservative", classist, anti-Americans. Just fill in the G-D blank.

So is John McCain guilty of being a racist because he knew and served with Strom Thurmond and was a member of the same political party?<BR/><BR/>If you are consistent you can't say "no" because John McCain isn't stupid enough to actually say black are inferior to whites.

McCain not only advocates policies that are incredibly destructive and regressive from the point of view of anyone who calls his or herself a Democrat, he will be certain to appoint 1-2 Supreme Court nominees who will be at least as conservative as Alito/Scalia (and if you think the Dem Congress will kill off all such nominees, you are incredibly naive).<BR/><BR/>Pacosdad, really excellent points. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Shame on any Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain or not vote. That is the most spiteful, cowardly, hypocritical, demented thing I can think of. <BR/><BR/>I'm tired of treating Hillary supporters with velvet gloves: quit your bitching. Hillary lost, whether legitimately or not. She will not be the nominee this time, maybe never. If you support ANYTHING she believes in and has fought hard for, you will work your ass off to oppose McCain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-59884089504285185052008-06-14T09:28:00.000-04:002008-06-14T09:28:00.000-04:00pacosdad -- You still don't "get it" A gay man ca...pacosdad -- You still don't "get it" A gay man can "pass" if he so chooses and not suffer the hardships and discrimination of sexism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-62783705079664876292008-06-14T09:24:00.000-04:002008-06-14T09:24:00.000-04:00THe Letters to the Editor in response to the sexis...THe Letters to the Editor in response to the sexist article in the New York Times appear today. Almost all were from women -- read them and see how women feel about the sexism that was so evident during the primary There was only one letter from a man. Guess how he felt. Apparently men still do not wish to remedy the situation. Big surprise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
