So, I get an email today from Robby Mook, DCCC Executive Director, inviting me to Stand With Occupy Wall Street (and maybe send the DCCC some money--but that's not what really, really offends me, this time, even though I am a bit offended by this attempt to co-opt OWS).
Here is what offends me: the email comes with an opportunity to buy a nice T-shirt:
TRUST WOMEN
PROTECT CHOICE
.
I want this shirt!
I click on the link, and it turns out, the offer is No Boys Allowed.
Now, I'm really pissed. Which is why the fleur de Kos is stained the color of excreted carotene...
The nice T-shirt:
TRUST WOMEN
PROTECT CHOICE
comes only in "Ladies Cut" and sizes.
Ditto another shirt you might want that addresses "women's issues":
STOP THE REPUBLICAN WAR ON WOMEN
which, of course, is an issue for all Americans, not just the XX-bearers among us.
I am the 49%! I am XY--have been for more than 65 years now. But I share my concern for human rights with the 51%. I wish the DCCC understood, and honored, that.
I tried to reach the DCCC and the marketing firm, to no avail.
Maybe somebody here can ask the DCCC store to stop their silly, insulting sexism.
Or maybe I should just develop a nice case of gynecomastia....
