For Women's Space

Post: Clinton-Palin and Obama-McCain

Commenter: Daisy

Why would a rabid anti-abortionist consent to be on the ticket with a dedicated abortion rights advocate? You would WANT this?

How is that a feminist view?

Post: Women Will Pay for an Obama Presidency: Obama’s Woman Staff Members Paid 17 Percent Less Than Men, McCain’s Paid More Than Men, McCain Hires More Women Than Obama Does

Commenter: Daisy

Heart, do I understand this to be a pro-McCain post? You’ve written several of these anti-Obama posts now. What’s up? Why are you joining the right-wing, fundamentalist pile-on?

Are you actually backing an anti-abortion, anti-gay candidate?

If so, how are these views feminist?

IF not, do you think still another post praising Palin is wise, this close to the election?

About This Blog

Some blogs moderate comments to exclude trolls, some to allow a "safe space" for a discussion amongst like-minded people who can develop and strengthen their arguments without fear of ridicule or uninformed or inflamatory criticism. Other blogs, however, use these excuses to silence the 'opposition' and / or refuse them the opportunity of a platform to defend themselves against often distorted or completely untrue statements. This can be not only incredibly annoying, but also stopping questioning and challenging comments stunts any real discussion and even a chance of a possible solution to a problem.

So, this blog is for those who have attempted to join a discussion and been frustrated, either by having their words ignored or distorted. It is also for those who wish to challenge their own views or to inform their arguments.

If you would like your moderated comment to be included in this blog, email Caroline at uncool [DOT] blog [AT] gmail [DOT] com or Natalia at nvantonova [AT] gmail [DOT] com with a link to the post you tried to comment on, a link to your own blog (if you have one, if not no worries), the day you left the comment and, of course, your comment.
