Ahah! Ahah! I finally see! I got IT!
I couldn't relate the definition of sexism in the dictionary to anything Walsh was writing, and I really thought the posters on this thread were lunatics. I now see where I went wrong.
Your post clarified everything! All you have to do is disregard the classical definition of SEXISM and apply a definition determined by Walsh and her followers (yet to be published) that says anything, anything at all is SEXIST, regardless of rational thinking, even if its completely nonsensical, if we say so!
I've now got it! I understand!
If you say anything in the world against Hillary Clinton, especially if it's the truth and it's negative, that's SEXISM. But if you say the same thing about a man, well then it's just the plain, simple truth.
But you know, it's like crying "wolf." After endless repetitions, the outlandish tirades become boring and meaningless.
My god, it's so easy to get caught up in this whole irrational, viscerally-created, sexism scam!
Who would have ever thought that by a accusing a female of "crying 'wolf'" one was a sexist.
But, after considerable thought and reflection, I see the absolute truth of what you're saying. And empirically, given the tone and disgruntlement of the posters here, I'm convinced of your statement. You gotta be very careful or you're unknowingly caught in the snare of sexism.
So I think it is fair to say, and that even the Walshies would would agree with me, that sexism, within their definition, knows no bounds.
OK! OK! I got it!
I never really could figure out why it was always Obama's fault.
Now, I know! He's a man.
Who woulda thunk??

I really appreciated your recent posts. It was so nice to read them, coming from two apparently rational women; in contrast to Walsh and her seriously delusioned followers.
Also, one recent post, I don't recall from whom, remembered Anita Hill. That was truly a sexist situation and it wasn't racist/sexist because Clarance Thomas is an African American.
I shall never forget Orrin Hatch and his unbelievable and outrageously overt sexual innuendos. At the time I thought he was the most repulsive person in the world.
I think I'd like voting for a qualified woman for president. But I find Clinton as repulsive as Hatch. And that's no lie.
The outrage now from Clinton's camp is that Obama hired Solis in order to insult HRC. That's been the typical outcry of this mismanaged, personality frought in-fighting group of evil-spirited HRC campaign leaders from the beginning and I can't understand why it isn't obvious to the whole world.
A Joan Walsh clone!
I sincerely hope the old, bitter, racist Clinton supporters enjoy voting for McCain. They deserve each other and belong together.
I found a posting that makes real honest sense, which is a surprise for this thread. I am also genuinely surprised it is an "Editor's Choice," given the lunatic, feminist bias that predominates here.
Kelly expresses my feelings and seems to cover all the bases in very few words. I recommend everyone reading it, and if you have already, please reread it.
An excerpt:
"Clinton supporters may not be racist, but their obsession with the advancement of white women, combined with apparent indifference to racism (not to mention actual policy), makes it hard to take the PUMAs seriously.

"I am OUTRAGED at something! I will NEVER vote for obama!
I heard something scandalous exists about obama. it's not just a rumor, it DOES exist! I guess i'll have to vote for Ross Perot."
This posting is so typical of the postings on this thread. It say nothing about "something." So well thought out! Soooh typical of the inane thought-processes of Walshies. Lots of luck with McCain or Perot or whomever!
Go Feminists, rah, rah, rah!
No I was completely fooled! I thought you were serious. And I said to myself, "this post is so typical of the inane feminist posts on this thread by the Walshies that I just have to say something."
Fooled once again! Alas, so be it!
Yes, she can!
"They did not, however, commiserate about Bill Clinton, who is in a self-pitying meltdown about not being Elvis anymore, trying to shake down Obama for more — more apologies for perceived snubs and more help paying off the $22 million Clinton debt.
It’s hard to fathom why Obama should be mau-maued into paying off the debt that Hillary and Bill accrued attacking and undermining him, while mismanaging the campaign and their nearly quarter-billion-dollar war chest so horribly that one Hillaryland insider told The New Republic that it bordered on fraud.
But the former president can’t stand being a loser, so he’s taking it out on the winner. When it comes to Bill, there’s a lot of vanity but very little humility in Unity."
Maureen is remarkably astute and aware!
Please read her article in today's NY Times. It's wonderful and portrays what is really going on in this screwy fantasy world of women crusading against non-existent sexism.
"I have to wonder though;, is Ms Walsh physically and/or psychically incapable of writing an entire piece without waving the bloody shirt of of the evil behind HRC's stolen crown?"
No need to wonder. She is psychically incapable!
"Vanity Fair's Gail Sheehy talks to Clinton insiders about what went wrong with her once 'inevitable' campaign"
An excellent article on how HRC mismanaged her campaign. Over and above what we already knew. She had the presidency locked in and $250 million for insurance, and her performance was one noted only for its incompetence.
