Reply #16: Excuse me, but I feel

...that you may be taking my comments out of context. I also feel that I'm being taken out of context.

My respose was based on the post prior and the situation I spoke of in my post. It goes without saying that the entire family is screwed up.

You are of course entitled to be offended by what was said considering this is a forum for women's issues. But if I may, I woud ask that you consider for a moment the woman you are defending.

She is the wife and and mother of MEN that have worked their asses off in their respective terms and states to dismantle women's rights. Am I blaming her for their actions? No. But I do not give her a free pass just because she happens to share my gender--no more than I would give Coulter, Condeleeza Rice or any other women that has been vocal on the behalf of that party or those men.

So forgive me if I spoke of her in a derogatory, non-feminist manner and you dislike that. She's in the party of personal responsibility--so I hold her accountable for having a hand in raising a monster, and being married to a greedy, misogynistic asshole. If one gives a shit about women, you wouldn't be in a relationship with a guy that hates them and wants to see them returned to second class status would you?

Given all the ass-kickings I've taken in GD for speaking up on behalf of women's rights and choice, I don't really appreciate someone questioning my feminist values based on one post, taken out of context.

edited for clarity. :)
