Young feminists find fault with Hillary Clinton
Why? It appears she’s not quite leftist and doctrinaire enough. Too “old school.” But they’ll vote for her anyway—and that’s before they know the Republican nominee, who of course is completely out of the question:
And Hillary Clinton came to look like the symbol of an older generation of women more concerned with female empowerment””in particular, with white, middle-class, American female empowerment””than with broader issues of social and economic justice. Svokos says she’ll vote for Clinton in 2016, but she’s not expecting her to make social justice and inequality true priorities if she makes it to the White House. “I find her lacking, in that I realize she’s not likely to push for the kind of change I’d like to see,” Svokos says. “At the same time, though, I believe she knows how to manage politics and will be more than capable in the position.”
The article goes on to make this rather risible comment:
While it’s not exactly news that Clinton is a less-than-ideal candidate for many on the Left, the critique of her from those on the vanguard of contemporary feminism is more surprising…
Excuse me, writer Molly Mirhashem of National Journal, but you don’t think “those on the vanguard of contemporary feminism” are the left?
Meanwhile, the Democrats prepare their plan of attack on the newest Republican frontrunner, white Hispanic Marco Rubio.
The vanguard, the feminist culprits that have the commodes of academia stopped up with the likes of Mary Daly, Allison Jaggar, Mireille Miller-Young, Saida Grundy, will not be content with middle of the road radicals. The family feud between the Bolsheviki and and Mensheviki had not ended in 1917 and continues today in the most fortified bastion of Communism (our universities) since… ever. And what the hell is it with Boston? Boston College (ostensibly Jesuit and Catholic) and Mary Daly, now Boston U and Saida Grundy, and Harvard. Has Pomp and Circumstance yet given way to the Second Internationale at commencement ceremonies? The Star Spangled Banner is still the choice at Red Sox games… no?
Hillary Clinton must be defeated.
I will step out on a thin limb and predict hrc will not be the nominee. Despite the connections and the billions of the clintonista cartel, she is yesterday’s paper. The boychild does not want hrc to carry the banner of the fundamental transformation.
parker,
I’m not sure that, that is such a thin limb upon which you perch. I too have my doubts about Hillary winning the nomination. She just has too many negatives to be a viable candidate and unlike Obama in 2008, she has a history. I still say it will be Warren.
Yeah, hrc has a history. But what of her history is likely to upset dems and progs?
New info on Benghazi…. “LALALALAALAA I CAN’T HEAR YOU”,
Or, “at least she’s not Bush”
Or… “huh?”
Fired for legal corruption during watergate? “NIXON!!!”
Her history only matters to citizens. TWANLOC don’t care, or they even like it.
TWANLOC don’t care, or they even like it….
Yup!
Read the comments at the Daily Caller. Vile!
It isn’t just their leadership who are evil, it is the entire rank and file.
O’Malley/Warren vs Walker/Sessions 2016. The muscle boy with a record of zero plus the harvard squaw vs the plain spoken successful governor and the experienced elder senator with a firm spine . What’s not to like?
parker,
O’Malley should be regularly hit with the question about which gangs he woud put in the DOJ to oversee our federal prisons.
‘Yootful Feminists…Sooooooooooo, Girls, are’ya hefting yer mattresses on yer Gender Studies shoulders and bleating that ya’can’t go to classes today ‘cuz Rev. Tawana Sharpton’s delicate daughter twisted(Right..??)her diversr/multi-cultural/post-modern/revisionist ankle and needs $5-Million for JUSTICE??
Apparently the vanguard or contemporary feminism aren’t interested in competence.
You’d think a scant record of tangible accomplishments, feminist or otherwise, would be a bigger concern that whether or not she supports the latest feminist craze. Then again, contemporary feminists seem batsh#t crazy to me.
Judicial Watch announced [Monday] that it obtained more than 100 pages of previously classified “Secret” documents from the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of State revealing that DOD almost immediately reported that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was committed by the al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood-linked “Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman” (BCOAR), and had been planned at least 10 days in advance. Rahman is known as the Blind Sheikh, and is serving life in prison for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other terrorist acts. The new documents also provide the first official confirmation that shows the U.S. government was aware of arms shipments from Benghazi to Syria. The documents also include an August 2012 analysis warning of the rise of ISIS and the predicted failure of the Obama policy of regime change in Syria.
young feminists and their ilk are so nice:
Meghan Chamberlin, told FoxNews.com that [Grundy’s Facebook] posts, made in a February public chat, felt “like a kick in the stomach.”
The woman who identified herself as Grundy posted the comments after Chamberlin took issue with a controversial article on race that the Facebook thread had linked to.
“I LITERALLY cry and lose sleep over this,” Chamberlin wrote, adding she had been raped as a child and felt that: “what this article did was tell me that I’m not aloud (sic) to ask for help… Because I am a WHITE woman… So when I read this article… you do understand what that does to me, right? It kills me…”
The woman, who identified herself as Sai Grundy in the Feb. 25 thread and uses the same photo the professor uses on tweets she acknowledged last week, responded by making fun of the victim’s crying.
“’I literally cry’…. While we literally die,” she said before adding, “try this article. A white woman explaining this issue to other white women… who manages NOT to cry while doing it!”
Chamberlin, the rape survivor, responded: “No really. I got it. You can take your claws out, thanks.”
To which Grundy exploded:
“^^THIS IS THE S**T I AM TALKING ABOUT. WHY DO YOU GET TO PLAY THE VICTIM EVERY TIME PEOPLE OF COLOR AND OUR ALLIES WANT TO POINT OUT RACISM. my CLAWS?? Do you see how you just took an issue that WASNT about you, MADE it about you, and NOW want to play the victim when I take the time to explain to you some s**t that is literally $82,000 below my pay grade? And then you promote your #whitegirltears like that’s some badge you get to wear… YOU BENEFIT FROM RACISM. WE’RE EXPLAINING THAT TO YOU and you’re vilifying my act of intellectual altruism by saying i stuck my “claws” into you?”
Sexism. It’s what feminism is all about. Just not the way they say.
