That the people complaining about them value their own bank accounts more than our lives. Most are completely ignorant about the assault on reproductive rights in America, and often argue that women have already acheived equality in the workplace. They blame the shitty economy on discrimination and want a pay day themselves before our concerns are addressed! They don't even realize they are ordering women and POC to the back of their bus. That's how clueless they are.

Such ignorance and greed has no place here, yet they claim to be more progressive. They aren't by a long shot. They're interested in money or the net, and seem to know and care little political or social history.
