(42,042 posts)There are legitimate criticisms of Hillary Clinton--mistakes she's made, things she's said, action she's taken, but none of them, NONE of them should result in the widespread sexist/misogynistic response you see from what claims to be a progressive site. A man would not get the same treatment, how do we know this? History.
Progressive by definition means going forward for the benefit of society-- more or less-- the origin of the term is from the early 1900's--That mean rights for subjugated and the oppressed in real time, not rehashing a 2008 campaign to the detriment of the 2016 one, not using the RW as "sources" when it has a well documented track record of Hillary hatred that is based on the antithesis of every thing a progressive stands for. There are other examples, very easy to find. So when you have women veer away from legitimate criticisms to repeating RW based lies--which is the patriarchy in its purest form IMO, you have women who are simply participating in it without thought or analysis. It's very sad to watch.
