Seriously, folks. This sexist nonsense against women at this site needs to stop. I don't give a shit who you support in the primary. I don't care if you are staying out of all primary diaries. I refuse to allow violent sexism to exist at this site just because it occurs in diaries I would prefer not to read anyway.
Why so mad? Follow me below the orange thingy.
Anyone who knows me here knows that Shiz and I do not get along. We have a lot in common, and a lot not. But it doesn't matter what I think or not think of Shiz, NO WOMAN at this site should have to endure comments like:
Do we need to slap you (0+ / 7-)

I've used biofeedback myself; it works well.
How about if we scream right in your face? Will that help?

We're not supposed to (0+ / 0-)
start rating wars.
And it wasn't uncalled for. The poor dear is hyperventilating because of a satire. Did she hyperventilate as she watched the BLMers storm the stage at Seattle and practically assault the moderator and Bernie?
She is whining about 'bad taste' while people were pushing the moderator and Bernie around, shutting down an event that thousands of people wanted to attend.
And don't start the whole 'people died' bit to justify the abusive behavior. Between 4-6 women and children die per day due to domestic abuse. But you don't see their advocates screaming at and shoving their allies at rallies.
What kind of community are we where some of the folks who showed up to post in
this diary have ganged up on a single woman, demeaned her and are now standing by while a man threatens violence against her? Is this what we are standing for?
Why the HELL are most of the people who hid that first comment not from the people who participated gleefully in that diary? Why the HELL are white women who uprated the comments which started this whole thing remaining silent about the sexism against Shiz?
Why the HELL is the community allowing this shit to occur? What kind of community creates a space in which a long time female member gets threatened with violence, and other long-time members in a diary who see it ignore it.
Why the HELL is someone who posted both the above comments plus this comment:
It's time to say what it (1+ / 6-)

The president gets a pass from AAs because of bias. There is no other possible explanation of the way AAs don't hold BO accountable (or other AA politicians) for anything while they rant and rave about whites.

Not banned?
Has the administration decided to say FUCK all women and people of color? Is that what this is? Are you so afraid to hurt the feelings of white men that you are allowing some of them to post the most blatantly racist and sexist shit, and sit back and do nothing?
I would really like to know why the hell this kind of increasingly violent rhetoric against so many of us is allowed day in and day out at Daily Kos, and we get nothing but silence from the people who run this site.
