(34,648 posts)I said as the demographics go up in age, the people get more conservative. Especially men. And most especially white men. I based that off of the 2012 exit polls. If you want i can go get a graph and show you. I also said that it is that group who legislates my womb and tries to limit my voting.
She was never ever included in that group. I told her so and explained and apologized for hurting her feelings. She responded with this thread to my apology. I was not disrespectful to her.

139. I am sorry for that truly.
I am sorry you are hurt by my words and i want you to know that i have never seen you post anything harmful or hurtful to me. We all suffer the sins of others in our nation.
The woman's burden. It's a shame really, white women just barely got the right to vote and own themselves and now we lump them in with their former oppressors. I do feel bad that i hurt you.
I just cannot think of another way to express what i see.
