So I'm a mysogynist if I don't support Hillary

[walldude]

but people who don't support Obama aren't racist, they just think he's a bad candidate. Is that about right? No wonder I'm down to about 15 minutes of DU per day.

[Symarip]

1. Uh oh.

You'll be dead to them soon if you speak logic.

[Deja Q]

2. Logic is a useless thing.

:D

[L0oniX]

12. That is illogical

[roguevalley]

30. if you see a pan coming your way, duck.

[rinsd]

3. Don't forget to flip that depending upon candidate preference.

In a couple of months, the line will be drawn and this place will be better.

[Araxen]

4. Yes, and to hell with you!

[redqueen]

5. No, you're a m*I*sogynist if you make jokes about women

by comparing them to cattle.

There's a line between comedy and being a straight-up asshole.

[TomInTib]

6. Yep. It is so decreed throughout the land.

I'm afraid if the word gets out, I may never get laid again.

[Skinner]

7. Who said you were a misogynist if you don't support Hillary?

Thanks for your help.

[walldude]

11. No specific personal attacks today.. yet..

But they happen all the time. I was actually referring to this thread with the many misogynist signs...

[Skinner]

14. Do you think that is what those protesters are trying to say?

You are a misogynist if you don't support Hillary Clinton.

[onehandle]

18. Nobody. It's part of the "Waa! We're winning! Waa! Waa!" patrol.

Very tiring.

[JVS]

39. Elton John did. HE HATES AMERICA!

[rodeodance]

45. Elton said no such thing and you know it. STOP spreading lies!!

[JVS]

48. Elton John viciously attacked Democrats blaming them for Hillary's losses and accusing them of...

being sexist and Hillary stood by and didn't tell him to stop his HATE SPEECH. How could she?

[rodeodance]

58. spin spin spin. hateful spin

[grantcart]

46. this poster is clearly stating that any attack on Hillary is inherently misogynistic

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5462115


If you are simply tired of politicians lying and have had it with the Clinton's lies you are misogynistic if you call her on lying



Hillary can tell no truth

I saved the best for last. I will bet that you did not know that women have been condemned as liars for a very, very long time in this culture. Sure, Gore and Edwards were called liars. They were also called gay or less than manly. Honesty is one of the manly virtues. Women and gays are believed to dissemble, because they are weak and this is the only way that they can steal power from honest, manly men who earn it the old fashioned way, with their blood, sweat and tears. Bill Clinton is a liar never really stuck with Democrats, because he was Big Dog. If he lied, it had to be about unimportant things, like blow jobs, in order to spare his wife’s feelings. (Remember, Dear Abby always said to lie about your affairs). About the stuff that mattered, the country’s safety he would tell the truth.

49. Sweet merciful crap, that's a post!

McCamy name dropped Our Lady of Guadalupe, Cotton Mather, Medusa, Sybil, Narnia, Star Trek, Marilyn Monroe, castration, and cleavage all in a single post.

All that was missing was the Trilateral Commission and Area 51...

:tinfoilhat:

[grantcart]

50. you forgot Alexis de Tocqueville, Weber, Cash and most importantly himself

[SoxFan]

53. I need to come up with a counter-post

I can work Thomas Merton, Dwight Yoakum, Nancy Grace, the 1983 Orioles, and the Memphis Commercial-Appeal into a finely tuned argument that shows that Hillary is known member of the Stonecutters.

[GoneOffShore]

59. Don't forget the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Outrage

Absolutely Clueless sect.

[LSparkle]

8. Yeah, I'm a "gender traitor" because I'm a woman for Obama ...

It's not that we're FOR a candidate, we're AGAINST the other one ... We're not
supporting Obama out of our respect for him, it's because we HATE WOMEN?

Ridiculous ... just like Sir Elton's condescending comment the other night.

[davidinalameda]

47. how do you think I feel

anyone who supports Obama is a homophobe

and I'm one of the biggest fags on this board!

:rofl:

[Deep13]

9. Ah, that's not how I see it...

...unless the disliking of HC is based on a sexist double standard.

[goldcanyonaz]

10. I'm black and don't support Obama, you do the math.

[liberaldem4ever]

13. Call me naive

I'm a 45 year old white woman who supports Obama. I honestly just see two human beings who are running for office who have different ideas and plans. I don't hate anybody and plan on voting on the candidate who wins the nomination. Don't get me wrong, I really support Obama and feel very strongly about him. I understand the passion of both sides of the supporters but the hatred, I just don't. I guess I am just weird. Or a moran.

[Withywindle]

15. No, you're a misogynist if you attack her with gender-based insults.

Duh.

Same way you're a racist if you attack Obama with racist put-downs.


And yes, that includes dog-whistling, coded language, and stereotyping. In both cases. Remember that privilege includes the luxury of ignorance.

52. President Clinton's recent put down comes to mind...

"What's Obama going to say next, That he doesn't steal cars?"

It's one thing for supporters to reveal sexism/racism, and an altogether more revoltin' development for a Democratic nominee's husband to engage in pushing at the edges of it with Dog Whistle statements such as that.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. You may just be your typical asshole.

Kidding. :)

[Beaverhausen]

17. Who said that to you?

[zulchzulu]

19. You betcha

Your Misogynist
(sung to Elton John's Your Song)

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
It's not one of those who can easily hide
I don't like chicks but boy if I did
I'd make sure they serve me some barbecue ribs

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who watches ESPN and has a beer belly, whoa
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My Misogyny is like beer and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody chicks are always wrong
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down the rules
How wonderful life is while misogyny is so cool

I sat on my roof and kicked the chicks off
Well a few of the gals well they've called me a misogynist
But the sun's been kind while I told a chick she was wrong
It's for dudes like me that keep misogyny going on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're too loud or they're a shrew
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Misogyny makes me feel so freakin' keen

And you can tell everybody chicks are always wrong
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down the rules
How wonderful life is while misogyny is so cool

20. C'mon, you know you can transpose that for the other side.

[flpoljunkie]

21. But you put up a great post in your 15 minutes here, walldude!

[MethuenProgressive]

22. LOOK!! Over your head!

There goes the point.

[nichomachus]

23. Please define your terms

Misogyny -- a hatred of women (all women)

Sexism -- discrimination against women based on gender.

There may be some misogynists, but I think sexism is more common and results in the feeling that there are some jobs women shouldn't have.

But, please don't confuse the two. There are a lot more sexists than there are misogynists. It's safe to say that most misogynists are probably sexist, but not all sexists are misogynists.

[Mooney]

24. You got it!

I always thought that the reason I wasn't supporting HRC was because of her IWR vote and her piss-poor job as my senator. I'm just glad I have Elton John to set me straight on my real motives, and you should be too.

[cbayer]

25. No, you are not.

I've not seen that said here at all, although I may have missed it. If you are referring to the Elton John comment, you take it out of context.

I have no doubt that sexism and, to some extent, misogyny plays a role in this race. I am equally sure that racism plays a role. However, I reject any statement that you are a misogynist/racist if you support one candidate or the other.

If you see someone saying that, you should argue against it instead of giving it more credence by generalizing that particular mis-characterization.

[Kurovski]

28. "No chick presidents, ever!"

Unless it would be scarletwoman, sfexpat2000, or omega minimo.

[AspenRose]

31. Or Nance Rants! Or Plaid Adder! Or....

[Kurovski]

35. Or helderheid, babylon sister, Kpete, Laurab, zidzi, Viva_la_Revolution,

hisownpetard, Etc, etc.

Is JeffR a chick? How about you? :-)

[Kurovski]

36. ...myrna minx.

[hisownpetard]

38. Use the curb to wipe it off your shoe.

:spank:

[Kurovski]

41. But...

I call it my famous shoe-stew hot-mix!

[hisownpetard]

57. That's lovely. But it only works if there are potatoes in it.

[hisownpetard]

40. Boy, you're quick!

[Kurovski]

42. You were there all along.

The "Babe Parade of Presidents".

[hisownpetard]

56. Better than the "Parade of Horribles."

37. Et pas moi? Am I not worthy?

:shrug: :cry: :shrug:

[Kurovski]

43. Don't cry!

I'm forgetting some women here, but you're not one of them.

[NashVegas]

29. Who Said Not Supporting Hillary Makes One a Misogynist?

Come back and play Walldude. ... Walldude?

[Beaverhausen]

33. I think Skinner scared him off

[walldude]

54. Actually the pathetic rantings in GDP

"scared me off"...

[Texas Hill Country]

32. no one ever said any of that.

[mmonk]

34. Bingo.

[rodeodance]

44. Where did you get that silly notion from?

[PoliticalAmazon]

51. In HillaryLand, if the mailcarrier is late delivering Hillary's mail, he/she's misogynist. n/t

[Catherina]

55. You're a mysogynist. The rest of us are self-hating women

Somehow I think we'll get over it.
