And nobody cares about looking their daughters in the face. This is why I’m still so skeptical about this business about protecting our daughters, and ensuring women’s rights for our daughters, and what have you. If a woman has only daughters, then fine. She’s pro-them. If she has sons, then the sons usually take precedence. And if it’s her sons versus someone else’s daughters, then those girls can fall off a cliff face for all they care.

Women will always support the men of their tribe before anything else. And men will support men before women. This is not a recipe for achieving equality before the heat death of the universe.

I used to get so angry at people who used primate ethology arguments against feminis, but most of them are right. In any group of primates where the females are automaticaly of lower rank, the only creatures that females will attack are the females of another tribe. Always.

I still remember Barack’s studiously disgraceful ‘snub’ of HIllary while she was about to shake hands with him before Kennedy reached out to save the moment! And I cringe remembering how (then) Senator Barack O. on stage in N.Carolina (day after his ignominious debate with HIllary on ABC with Stephanopoulos where he shamefully lost the debate loud and clear) “flip-offing” Hillary like a pre-teen by moving his midfinger and ‘scratching’ his cheek to the delight of his fan club!

Now

Periodically, Barack and his boys will feel ‘down’ and start launching attacks against Hillary to boost their declining appeal…

Who was the Athenian philosopher who said…”Karma’s a bitch”?….

My Mary Kay organization is composed of a third AA women (and a few men), and they were disgusted at how many times I was called racist starting in June of 2008 for speaking up about the sexism. They knew better about me.

Anna Belle who writes a bi-weekly piece for our blog about women’s history, says that there has been a history of competition between sexism and racism. Remedying racism has historically won out first before sexist issues were addressed.

I saw how conflicted many of my AA friends were deciding between Hillary and Obama. In the end, many of them told me that they would be unable to look their sons and nephews in the face if they hadn’t supported Obama.

I so wish that remedying sexism and racism wasn’t on a collision course!!!

And Janis—-I still haven’t gotten over it either. It has changed me as a person. It was a change none of us bargained for.

2008 burned me out like nothing else ever has. It made me wash my hands of my species. It woke me up to how worthy of contempt most women are, as well as men. It threw in my face that the stuff we’ve been fighting against really is just part of us as monkeys, and there is no getting past it. It illustrated to me that enjoying myself and providing for my mother are the two ONLY things in my life that count.

Forgiveness means nothing, and what good is forgetting? Am I supposed to “forget” that water runs downhill, too?

Still too angry, sorry …

Great article, but sad story.

I’ve never wanted to re-live a year of my life like I want to re-live 2008.
