Feminists In This Campaign

Someone calling herself The Zaftig Redhead has put it together so well that I am in awe.
Teaser quote:
...one of the things feminists do best -- like Democrats -- is kick the crap out of each other

My response:
wow, brings back the bad old days of being criticized for shaving my legs, Mormon men from Utah bringing their women in to destabilize the Washington State Women's Conference and the fear tactics used to rally the founding mothers of Seattle NOW to fend off a takeover by the Socialist Workers Party by getting out the vote to overwhelm an alternative slate of chapter candidates, of which I was a co-president candidate.
I learned my politics there and I cherish the memories.
It was the choice issue used against Obama in New Hampshire that clinched my support for him.
