Not Every Woman In A Position Of Power Is A Feminist Hero

[gabeana]

when progressives, who are typically more focused on women’s rights, don’t automatically celebrate every woman leader, there is more backlash.

It really confuses some conservatives when progressive feminist women don’t automatically support every big-name female leader. But that reveals a naked misunderstanding or indifference to women’s rights ― a presumption that all us girls need is to see a woman in power and the feminist project ends there. You need only look back to the uproar around Sarah Palin in 2008 to see the same issues crop up.

1. As is the case for Tamika Mallory & Linda Sarsour's recently

revealed affiliation with Louis Farrakhan.

Their agenda is division within a segment of the populace.
When its finall revealed "who they really are", much damage is done & alliances are fractured.

Which of course, was always their main intent in the first place.

2. Yup, and it's not just one incident, it's a long pattern of it

3. Indeed. They came crawling from dank dark corners in 2015/16

With messaging & agenda well in place..
"Money & Media" they say, the loudest most blatant division all came from the same place with the same purpose.

4. NO ONE thinks that here on DU, Gabeana. You might

find Progressive-styled people who enjoy indulging those notions on some forum that likes to imagine the Democratic Party is just as unprincipled as the Republican. You won't find them on DU, which is a home for Democrats.

Here, you go in fact. First place I looked! Just google JackPineRadicals and Haspel. But I'm afraid they're out ahead of, what's the author's name, ah: Emily Peck. ("... Once again, given that the useless fucking Democrats are uselessly fucking silent as fucking usual, it falls to Rand Paul to express his principled opposition..." )

If it's hard to believe that came from a capital-P Progressive, look and start believing. Those are the ones this author is speaking to, not Democrats. There are other threads on that forum alone on this topic also, though I will leave you to check them out yourself. Btw, I googled a bit and I'm guessing "LOTE" Democrats means lesser of two evils over there. Not all those Progressives over there seem to agree on the lesser, though.
