My 'Identity Politics' Are Here To Stay. Deal With It. Or I Won't Deal With You.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

I’ve about had it up to here with folks who tell me to put my energy into making sure that white male dreams are taken care of first so that mine can be taken care of later. You can go fuck yourselves.

I have a red line and it pretty much crosses my uterus. You fuck with that, I fight you. It is just the way it is.

I don’t want to hear your bullshit about winning red states with anti-choice ‘Democrats’ so that I can be ‘taken care of’ later. It does me no good to have a bunch of pro-lifers who work with Republicans to torment women at the national level. No. Good.

You want me to stand with you? You sure as fuck better stand with me. And if you don’t? I’ll fight you. That is just the way it is.

8. POC have been putting up with this crap forever.

They have been told many times to slow down, or wait. They will get their full rights at some later date.

11. I don't have a uterus, I cheer you on. Stand now, never back down, look'em dead in the eye.

12. Can't fault women on that...

about time Dems started fighting for something instead of against something for a change.

If we're gonna die as a party, let's die on the altar of expanding people's rights and opportunities. What the hell, we've lost all those misogynistic assholes anyway. Maybe they'll come around when their wives stop sleeping with them and they can no longer get away with their terristic bullshit against women in the workplace.

13. K&R

I've said something similar for years, but it's done me no good whatsoever as I stand there and see cause after cause put before women.

Scurrilous bullshit of this variety would NEVER be tolerated in DU were it against gay rights.

I've thought about this for a long time, and I finally realized that this is so - because there are gay MEN.

John Lennon was right 45 years ago, and he's right now:
