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?

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.
My attempt to leave a trackback was also censored, or at least just disappeared into the ether.
ReplyDeleteStuck in Moderation? Here's what to do!
It'll have disappeared hinny, Heart wouldn't have done that.
ReplyDeleteOh, wait....
Heh, might as well put my trackback on while I'm here!
in the moderation queue.
How is the McCain Palin ticket "feminist" in ANY way, is what I want to know. How is it "feminist" to keep insisting that it's somehow no worse to have McCain in power than Obama?
ReplyDeleteYes, obviously, it's anti-feminist to indulge or engage in knocking Palin at the level of "lipstick on a pig" or some of the crap I've seen around--there was a graphic of a male arm knocking her teeth in, this was supposed to be "funny," I guess. Hi, yeah. I'd say the same for Coulter or anyone.
but ffs that doesn't mean I still don't think she's a scary right-wing fundie who shouldn't be anywhere NEAR the office and is about as "feminist" as Pat Buchanan. So she happens to be a woman. So what. Is Phyllis Schlafly now a "feminist," too? Hey, she's a woman with a lot of clout and visibility. Apparently that's all that matters, amirite? I mean McCain's even against giving teeth to "equal pay for equal work," let alone reproductive rights or sexuality (p.s. fuck you very much, Miz Family Values).
Look, she's not some delicate little flower. She's a rootin' tootin' moose huntin' proto-fascist who'd gladly see any number of us under any number of buses and wink while she's doing it. Let's not pretend otherwise: it's insulting to pretty much everyone.
Heart doesn't let anything thru that may her in any sort of unfavorable light.
ReplyDeleteAnd WTF is she on about in those comments?
Says CLS: "I, myself, am a candidate for President. I have an entire blog dedicated to the subject http://www.cheryllindseyseelhoffforpresident.wordpress.com. I have been writing about this for months."
ReplyDeleteOh hell -- me too, then!
I officially announce I am running for president!
Vote for Kim!
Do even her devoted reader take this "campaign" seriously, I wonder?
Hmmm, yeah, cos that's how you win a presidential campaign you know: blogging.
ReplyDeleteI mean, she's actually running for president of the most powerful country in the world, and she can't even sort out the comment moderation on her goddamn BLOG?
