The hostility of some of the responses to you in this thread kind of makes your point and that of this article even more strongly, doesn’t it...?

Oh please. What a pompous, self-important diatribe. Piss off.

Would you happen to be a guy? Because if so, you may not know that most women have had the experience of asking a guy to do something (like provide good customer service) or asking a guy not to do something (like refrain from sexist crudity) and not getting the same response that a man in the vicinity gets. Having a…

Except that she’s almost Bernie, except for the female thing, which is worth pointing out?

Nice try, though.

Fair point, still, I’m fussy and find it irritating when people call women “twats”.

The fact that you refer to Elizabeth Warren as “Bernie Lite” is interesting. You chose to define her in relationship to a man, not as an independent progressive Senator with whom you share common views.

I don’t mean criticizing her war-mongering, I mean the misogyny and hysterical dismissal of feminist concerns (from “socialists”!) that is the main topic here.

Yeah. I am just barely old enough to remember, and but I remember. She wanted to brainwash children in government-sponsored day cares. She was “New Age.” She wasn’t a proper First Lady. Her short hair was terrible, and also meant she was a lesbian. Government health care?! Communism! She killed Vince Foster! She…

Yeah, boy, I was really traumatized. Asking someone to unfollow instead of just being a jerk and blocking them, that’s really making a federal case, huh?

1. There’s no evidence that she used her own email address deliberately in order to avoid disclosure. Previous Secretaries of State also used private emails, including Colin Powell. Secondly, even if she had used a government email, the disclosure issues would still be exactly as they are— government employees are…

A few dinners ago my REDACTED told me that, given the chance, he would “gleefully choke Clinton to death with his bare hands”. It wasn’t even in the context of a political discussion, he just heard someone else mention Clinton across the room.

A friend of mine just got really mad at me for implying that his critiques of Hillary were sexist. But his critique was: I just don’t like her. I find her fake, manipulative, too well-groomed, “compromised,” “in bed with” big banks, “owned by” big banks.... Those aren’t explicitly sexist comments, but they sure carry…

No, Jesus asks people to follow him. You’re backwards, there.

Don't you see though that even with regard to Warren's imaginary campaign you are comparing her favorably to a man? She's OK with you because she's just like a man?

You should dismiss the trolls, unless you really get something out of talking to them. They do feed off any attention, and I’d rather they not get it.

What are you even talking about

This disappoints me. I admittedly have had little to no interaction with Berniebros. My facebook is mostly non-Berniebro Bernie fans, people that like Trump, and those that don’t give a fuck.

You're fortunate. I've encounter more of this type than not. Obviously it's an issue if Sanders is asking his supporters to be more respectful.

Other day on twitter I said something supportive of Bernie or maybe retweeted something of his. I immediately got three follows, all from dudes with just horrible anti-Hillary shit on their profiles. One called her “Hitlery,” the others were sexist as hell.
