I'm thinking about forgoing holidays with my sisters and in-laws. They're all Dems and invariably one of them starts a tirade against Republicans and/or Bush. I've actually been in ten on one situations (I'm the one) arguing my side. The saving grace is that I always have the facts on my side because yes, my sister and in-laws are emotion driven and have a paucity of facts at their disposal. My male in-laws do at least shut up when I'm slamming radical feminists. The ugly little secret is that even most male Dems intensely dislike feminists. At least in my little world they do.
The liberal Jewish males PROFESS to be feminists, but I have this feeling it is only because they want women to like them, and they think that is the "right" thing to say.
Last Thanksgiving at my mother's (we all remember the political scene at the time), she had to tell everyone that POLITICS WOULD NOT BE DISCUSSED. It was hard to even sit at the table with the Gorons at that time.
