“The point is that those women’s groups should stand up for sexist attack on ANY woman regardless of her political views.”
That’s impossible or verging on sainthood!! From your handle I would venture to guess that you’re a mom against abortions. If that’s true, have you ever stood up for some woman that might have been vilified, called baby-killer by pro-lifers for her staunch defense of abortion??
Your mistake is thinking that a group that calls themselves a “women’s group” is out to defend ALL women. That’s what they want you to think. In reality all they’re after is promoting a particular set of self-interests that they share (and they believe or want you to believe that all women share). Don’t get fooled by names - look at their agenda.
Yes you are not telling me anything I don’t know. I started the discussion saying that there is a double standard. The fact that NOW and other such organizations that say they are out to defend women, have nothing to say when a conservative woman is attacked.
We can disagree with someone politically while refraining from attacks that have nothing to with the disagreement.
BTW, I don’t propose to stand up for women’s “rights”. I judge a woman on her actions not her gender. If she has killed a baby then she is a baby killer.
