Agendas

I have no patience for the word police that gets bent out of shape over words, or derails important threads, like Top MILF official succumbs to stroke and introduce words like *fucktoilet* on DU. This was reported by the BBC the exact same way and it's big news but not for the word police. Oh no, they need to derail the whole thread.

At that point, every single one of them went on ignore and life is better for it.

My obscenity priorities are war, to include the worldwide class war being waged on people, where women and children suffer the most, and economic injustice.

There's no feminist outcry from that contingent about impoverishing our African and Latin American sisters to subsidize the great American lifestyle. Or a feminist outcry about the drones being used that slaughter women and children all over the world. Or about the economic policies that are pushing women and children out into the streets.

But words? Yeah, they've got a little list, that's a bullshit priority from a position of privilege. If you can't stand for women everywhere and see how you're their oppressors too, your feminism is as hollow and as worthless as your stupid little lists.

Good post. Thank you

About Catherina

There are times that one wishes one was smarter than one is so that when one looks out at the world and sees the problems one wishes one knew the answers and I don\'t know the answers. I think sometimes one wishes one was dumber than one is so one doesn\'t have to look out into the world and see the pain that\'s out there and the horrible situations that are out there, and not know what to do - Bernie Sanders http://www.democraticunderground.com/128040277
