It strikes me as odd that someone so young is able to work up such "femininst ire", harping about our misogynistic society. How many classes or schools were you denied entry due to your gender? How many jobs have you applied for that you weren't offered due to your gender? How many times have you been denied your "right" to an abortion or to buy birth control? To how many clubs have you applied for membership that denied your application due to your gender? This battle was fought long ago and won by stronger women than you appear to be. (And, in my humble opinion, in many ways to the detriment of our society.) You minimize their efforts with your childish tantrums. Get off your high horse! Recognize please that you are criticizing MSM, Bill Donahue, et al while you commit the very crimes of which you accuse them. You are entitled to your opinions. Unfortunately, what you seem to be unableor unwilling to grasp is that not everyone is so enthusiastic about your sharing them. Come out from behind your computer. Get a new "day job" perhaps working with the masses of homeless women who haven't had the advantages you've had. See what the plight of truly disadvantaged women is like for a year or two. Then, by all means, come back to the net and share with us the benefit of your experience. If you weren't fired, you did not "have to quit" the Edwards campaign. You chose to leave because you couldn't stand the heat. Learn from your mistakes, change what needs to be changed about your own actions/behaviors/attitudes and move on but, for God's sake, quit tilting at windmills that stopped spinning before you were born.
One more thing, when one makes a mistake, and is taken to task for it, it is advisable to not point at others who may or may not have made the same mistake as justification for your own actions.
Growing up is painful. Welcome to the world.
