[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... The Clinton supporters have posted ... [i]comparisons between Sanders and Trump[/i] which made no sense whatsoever. The ugliness has been one sided unless you believe it is an insult to say that Clinton is not what I consider a feminist but [u]some people would see that as a compliment[/u]. [/quote]

C'mon now, how are we going to have any constructive discussions if you try to suggest that it's a compliment when Sanders supporters say Clinton is not a feminist.  You and I both know that's an insult to Clinton.  It's the kind of stuff that should stop.

If you really want to say it's actually a compliment to say Clinton is not a feminist, then I suppose by the same logic it could be considered a compliment by some people to say Sanders is a lot like Trump.  Would you consider that a fair comparison?

Let's stop with the unfair attacks please.

I stand by my words. Clinton does not fit my definition of a feminist and it is not an unfair "attack." We are talking about policy here. On another thread you called Sanders a "megalomaniac." That is an insult. I have said nothing of the sort about Clinton though if I wanted to get ugly like that, I could. Feminists are allowed to discuss what they believe constitutes a "real" feminist without insulting each other. This happens in academia all the time. [/quote]

I stand by my words too.  Sanders fits my definition of a megalomaniac, so it is not an unfair attack.  If you truly want to maintain that you're not intending to insult Hillary Clinton when you say she's not a feminist, I think you are being disingenuous.  Are you really going to take that position?

If you can't see the difference between discussing anti-woman policy decisions and posting an insult like "megalomaniac," I see no point in discussing this any further with you. I can see that you don't like my thread and you don't agree that Hillary Clinton is not a feminist but criticism and meaningful discussion are different from unfounded insults. If you want to post a thread about the "megalomania" that you perceive, then go right ahead. I will not attempt to have your thread locked. [/quote]
