[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I think it’s the rise of misogyny as an overt political platform of both parties. Both parties are openly throwing themselves into misogyny as a winning electoral issue. It’s frankly terrifying. [/quote]

What is the Dem misogyny?[/quote]

"The progressive wing of the party has leaned in hard on taking the side of using rape and sexual assault as a weapon of political terror. "

Can you explain to me what this means?  Cause as a stand alone sentence it sounds like you are saying progressives are using rape and SA as a weapon of (political) terror.  Read literally that sounds like progressives are raping women, is that what you mean?

"The refusal to unequivocally condemn the documented sexual violence from Hamas and the silence of progressive women’s organizations (which are all Democrat supporters) on the issue has been extremely demoralizing."

Minimization?  Like this? https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4345978-democratic-divisions-deepen-over-hamas-sexual-violence-response/#:~:text=Democrats%20have%20expressed%20strong%20criticism,on%20Israel%20%E2%80%94%20toward%20Israeli%20women.

and this? https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/14/politics/senators-resolution-condemning-hamas/index.html

So Jaypal, of whom I am not particularly a fan, saying that  “I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians,”  Means she doesn't unequivocally condemn rape?  Because it sounds to me like what she's really saying is "remember that Israel is being terrible too".

"The Democrats have also been leading the charge in eliminating sex-based protections and spaces for women and they seem to be openly pretending that women haven’t been terrorized for millennia because of their biology. "

We are being terrorized NOW by the GOP taking away our abortion rights.  I do not care about bathrooms or prisons or even what's inside the swimteam bathing suits.  I care about my daughters.

You sound like a troll.  BoTh SiDeS eh?[/quote]

Um, yes. What happened to Israeli civilians was horrific on Oct 7, and the treatment of the hostages deplorable. And yet? The war and terror that Israel unleashed on Palestine in response, killing more than 20k— 20k—including women and children, the number is higher now, and I can bear to look it up— was even worse. Yes, the toll and cruelty is hard to fathom, but those are the facts. This is a genocide. Yes it is. Look up the definition.

And my husband is Jewish, our kids are half. We both wholeheartedly condemn this war and Israel’s actions as most of the world has already done.
