Michael Moore thoughts on Bernie / Warren "feud"

Yup. To reiterate:

@MalevolentPixy

when it comes to misogyny, the message is “don’t be divisive” and women keep getting told “we’re taking care of it, be patient” and nothing gets done until someone finally realizes that the old boys aren’t ever going to deal with it.

And we’re serious that your “Why now, and not when it happened?” is the same fucking bullshit women hear every single time when men want to gaslight them. Bring it up when it happens and “now is not the time.” When someone finally fucking listens it’s “why now?” with the implication it’s the predatory woman acting opportunistically, rather than everyone ignoring her the whole fucking time. Kind of like the way you’re ignoring or dismissing everyone who is telling you this.

(“You” in the above is not aimed at @DukeTrout).

If people want women to respect their opinions, they can stop hitting us with that bullshit “why didn’t you say something at the time” fallacy. The list of reasons as to why that happens (including the fact that a good portion of the time, something was said and ignored) is too long for me to replicate right here and now.

Not to mention that this is hardly the first time anti-Warren folks have shown their elastic reach in a need to call her a liar. Maybe it’d be easier to believe without all those other shouts of “Wolf!” we keep hearing.
