Reply #119: I had a gender, race and ethnic class [View All]

a few years ago. It opened my eyes to many things. Since then I have taken a lot of time to learn more about feminist issues. I'm constantly thinking about that stuff, correlating them to minority issues (I'm an American Indian) and so forth. Lots of interrelated human rights issues there. Women deal with stuff like an unrealistic and harsh ideal of beauty, oppression a a woman, minority woman and/or a woman or minority woman in the workforce. It's pretty ugly out there. Witness a guy like Rick Santorum, I mean seriously, where do these guys get off saying stuff like they do? It's ludicrous. Not to mention Dems are always all too willing to sell women's rights up the river for political gain, even though Dems are the ones who are supposed to be fighting for those rights. Lots of these guys coming up with "strategy" when Roberts and Scalito were both nominated just made me sick. Like the promotion of Bob Casey, an anti-choice candidate, running as a Dem against Santorum in PA. The Corporate Media and DNC practically handed this guy the primary over a year ago. Meanwhile, what good does a guy like that do for half of our country? Nothing, because he's anti-rights for that half of the country. Doesn't sound like a good choice to me. It sickens me. Truly does.
