[quote=Anonymous][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]

Discuss the policy decisions of both candidates all you want.  It's when you say Hillary Clinton is not a feminist that you slip into an unfair attack.  IMHO, you really ought to apologize and retract it.  You do Bernie Sanders more harm than good when you engage in attacks like that.
