Here’s Why I’m Not Going Back To The Women’s March
The Federalist ^ | JANUARY 15, 2020 | Libby Emmons

Posted on 01/15/2020 10:17:09 AM PST by Zenyatta

I was at the first Women’s March back in 2017, when the ladies wore pink p-ssy hats, and it was the beginning of the end for me. Or at least it was past the halfway point to the end for me. Lots of people were mad about the hats, white feminism, and vagina centrism. Women were getting thrown under the buses we chartered in favor of trans ideology. And that turned me from an enthusiastic marcher to a disillusioned former marcher.

Kicked to the curb, huh Libby? Welcome to Wokeville where every day everybody clambers over the dead bodies of yesterday's most Woke personage.

From Town Hall today: "The Perpetual Intersectional Revolution Eats Its Own" by Ben Shapiro.

It must be difficult to live in an environment in which every day is a perpetual test of one's submission to the Woke Police. It must be difficult to know that no past act stands in favor of the accused -- that each day must be lived fresh -- and that all past omissions stand against the accused. But the intersectional revolution requires continual struggle, and continual sacrifice.
Give it up for the struggle, Libby. Your day is done.

Now put on your critical thinking (non-pussy) hat and think about joining the side of Freedom and Liberty.

” We were going to speak out against the unqualified guy who won the election against the exceptionally qualified woman.”

LOL!

“What is a vagina centrism?”

I won’t feed a mute spammer.

Apparently, all the answers are here, but I could only stomach a couple paragraphs.

Re: “ The feminism I had grown up with, of equality under the law and rights to self-determination, had changed, and I barely recognized it. ”

This is the problem with so many democrats. They have one view of the issues and their party in their minds, but they fail to acknowledge just how far left their party has swung. Unless they take time out to actually think about their beliefs and values like the author of the commentary, they will be carried along by the leftist stream, endorsing beliefs and practices that they previously found objectionable.

I don’t think I can handle reading that, but in my mind, it has appalled me that a group of people who spent many a year trying to tell everyone that they were more than sex organs, appreciate our brains, etc. decided to use their certain sex organs as their mascot. It boggles the mind. Those women have reduced themselves to being the very opposite of what they portrayed themselves as. I say this as a woman.

vagina centrism

Everything is centered on the vagina. Female feminists center everything on their vagina, which is a no-no because a male who identifies as a female (transgender) has no vagina. Thus the clash begins. Does that help at all? 8>)

She never quite got around to her original comparison of a “exceptionally qualified woman” losing to “the unqualified man” and said how Trump looks to her now.

It’s a good read, I’d encourage you to read it. Sheds light on what some have experienced in their activism.

They are accusing biological women of only supporting women’s rights for biological women.
