"I don't think being cynical about what the media chooses to report makes me a bigot against "blond white women".

Couldn't agree more. The OP is about the way that is expressed, isn't it? The resistance, dismissiveness and insults ("flak") in the replies of those who don't "get it" is not (mainly) do to the "need to do" thing. There's something else going on there. (The funny thing is how many who don't get it are saying "it's a no brainer" or "this is so obvious I can't believe I have to explain it......")

How bout DU comes up with a new, non-bigoted tag line for "Missing White Blonde" or "Dead White Chick" when they CLAIM what they want to criticize is the MEDIA. All righty then, how about something that actually DOES that?

NOT something that insults, demeans, degrades, dehumanizes the victim and women.


This is only ever worth bringing up because it hurts Democrats and DU. That is why I used the urgent, demanding language. In order for us to survive (and if Democrats have any hope of succeeding and/or reclaiming our nation) we DO NEED to do these things.

OM from post #33. Sexist bigotry damages the cause of liberals, progressives, Democrats & DU. The solutions to the problems we face are dependent on reversing the insane track of mutually assured destruction. Respect and inclusion of women is integral to that. But that's another thread
