Meet The Brogressive, Your New Worst Enemy
should have known based on his precisely pressed, purple gingham shirt and dark-framed glasses, his head, quizzically, the perfect shape for a Fedora. Sitting next to me at yet another progressive millennial conference in Washington, he struck up a conversation. When asked where he interned, he explained he did communications for an organization that works in liberal media messaging. When the question was reciprocated, I said I interned at the Feminist Majority Foundation.
When I said "feminist," his mouth curled. "What does that mean?" He asked, confused. I explained I spent most of my time writing blog posts, tweets, and research summaries pertaining to the feminist movement, primarily in the areas of reproductive justice and sexual violence prevention on college campuses. With a faint eyebrow raise, the conversation abruptly ended.
We filled out the surveys handed to us when we walked into the seminar room. Under the section where we were supposed to circle which aspects of progressive politics interested us, I glanced at his paper, only to see he chose every possible answer except for "Racial Justice," LGBTQ Rights," and "Women's Rights."
Meet the Brogressive.

I have met to damn many of them!
brogressive [ http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brogressive ]
Politically liberal or left-leaning person who routinely downplays injustices against women and other marginalized groups in favor of some cause they deem more important.
He's just a brogressive. He says he wants equality and liberation for all, but he makes rape jokes and accuses women of making false sexual assault claims all the time.

2. Yep, we see them all the time.
All they are concerned with is "economic justice" & screw everybody else. Hell I just responded to a post that was offended that Emily's List has the audacity to help women get elected to office.

8. Brogressives were about 10 yrs old when Obama first became our Dem President soooooooo.... like 17 and a half now?
What would they know of feminism.
It appears they define the word progressive to fit their day.
Brogressives have hijacked & are redefining the intent of the powerful Progressive Party.
Seems to be a trend, lately

11. I guess you could call me one because my MAIN interest is economic equality
I have read may a post from all different message boards where I read where LGBT people who are wealthy don't give a rats ass about economic equality. Did you see the other surveys?
Star Member geek tragedy (51,623 posts)
15. wait, are you trying to bash GLBT people as unconcerned with economic justice? nt
Oh, dear.... Don't get the fairies all stirred up!
Jim Beard (359 posts)
19. Yes, there are those in the LGBT who are MORE concerned about LGBT than Progressive economic equality. Notice the word "MORE".
oh, dear...

20. so you're bashing people for being too preoccupied with their own civil rights
Yep, this article is about you.
Here is a hint:
in order to have allies, you need to be an ally

14. Maybe somebody should do an OP on social justice warriors. It would be about as helpful and useful.
Oh no...
Star Member geek tragedy (51,623 posts)
17. social justice warriors is a favorite term on the right wing. While there are some who take that stuff too far (which is the case with every movement), using the rightwing vocabulary isn't helpful.

25. anyone who talks about civil rights gives them ammunition.
it's really not up to straight white guys like you and I to police what oppressed minorities say about their own civil rights.

22. The Brogressive is NOT socially liberal. He's a typical white male moderate progressive conservative -- trendy purple-shirt urban model.
Note, when figuring out whether a rather centrist person falls liberal or con, that he or she usually holds positions for various issues on both sides; it's the direction the overall weight of his positions causes him to lean that clues one in.

33. I feel like you want me to apologize for not being a black lesbian, or something. Not gonna happen.
I didn't choose my skin color or sexual orientation any more than you did.
That doesn't make us enemies.
Why are you trying to drive wedges between us?
Rex (56,906 posts)
37. Hmmm....sounds a lot like a libertarian imo.
They 'think' they are progressives like us, because they 'smoke weed'...YUP, know few just like that. Have an Obama sticker on their Macbook...spot on! And don't get them talking about Macs...you will be there all day.
NOW, bring up corporate welfare or LGBTQ rights and watch their face form into a puzzle, "what does that have to do with anything?" Right...caught ya!

39. Sounds like more dribble from the identity politics police.
Always looking within the base for an "enemy" then finding a new one the next year...then the next year, until all that's left is themselves - where they find an enemy within. See how that works?
That is what the left does.

Notes to super-genius Progs:
1. That 'Union vote' solid DemonRat constituency thinks pretty much like Mr. Purple Shirt, the so-called 'Economic Justice' and 'Gender Equality' BS that is so life-and-death to you doesn't really matter a fart in a windstorm to them. Likewise for most of the minority vote on which you depend.
2. The majority of you dopes who actually live and die over the SJW crap must either live and work in academia, the media, be absorbed in gay-etc. identity politics, or be cranky divorced chicks living off of child support and welfare...or bottom-feeding dudes parroting that crap in order to try and get lucky with them.
3. The word you can't seem to master is 'Drivel.' Look it up, bitches.

Oh, I hope so. Didn't he get purged (Or voluntarily purge himself) a couple of years back?

Yeah. I remember he would show up drunk on a Friday or Saturday night trolling for fatties.

I guess the only thing acceptable is a limp wristed white male that apologizes at every turn for existing...aka Randy Shaw.
Funny though how all the so called feminists would spit on that guy when it comes to finding a mate.

You know, sooner or later, simply because of elementary laws of physics, men are going to resent always being told by she-women how we're supposed to be, and think. Push-back.
Now, Wills, the William769 primitive, is the queen of the fairy boys on Skins's island, and so in one sense one can understand him hanging around with the girls.
But surely he's not blind; surely he knows that no matter how much he kowtows to the she-women, in the end they're inevitably going to despise him because he's a male.
There's the shining example of our good friend Laelth from about two years ago, about the time the she-women, led by the Four Horsewomen of the Femapocalypse, were trying to take over the whole of Skins's island.
He tripped all over himself being nice to Jugs, the BainsBane primitive, but it availed him nothing. Since he possessed the plumbing of males, Jugs loathed him no matter what. He abjectly surrendered over and over again to her, but it wasn't good enough. Finally, when Jugs cut off his balls and strung them on her necklace, he ran away in terror and humiliation.
The same thing's going to happen to Wills; wait, watch and see if I'm not right.

It's a natural stage in Progs' Progressivier than thou fighting for Prog-Cred points. One single-issue Prog is demeaning other Progs' single issues.
Less scarcastically, the weak point in a coalition of special interests is that those special interests may come into conflict, and then a circular firing squad ensues. A classic example would be Enviros who obstruct business and infrastructure and unions, whose members work for those businesses or on those housing developments, industrial buildings, and highway/bridge projects. Then groups of the perpetually aggrieved (race-baiters, feminazis, etc.) start urinating on all concerned ...

And if DU's ultra-feminists ever take on DU's hyper-sensitive AfAms - maybe over the crude and gross exploitation of women and misogyny in the world of hip-hop and rap - it'll be :popcorn: time! The survivors of the PUMAcrat uprising and beat-down may have survived by shutting up and knuckling under, but they've been honing their grudges and sharpening their knives for 7 1/2 years. There could be blood!
I can dream, can't I?

Free abortions and condoms.
And government funded birth control...

Primitives trying to make their own "cool table" because the non-drooling, non-helmet wearing 4th graders won't even acknowledge their existence.

Beautiful prose.
Concentrated, terse, pithy,subtly multifaceted, and deep.

That corner of feminism is revolting against nature: they resent that men can't get pregnant; they resent that women can't turn on or off their reproduction with a switch; they resent that they need a male in order to reproduce (even a sperm bank gets its sperm from a male ... and turkey basters were probably designed by a male).

Free abortions and birth control pills.
Well that's part of it, though I updated your post. Per Sandra Fluke, feminists want free "pills", not condoms. Feminists of this variety also want free, champagne-and-caviar-grade daycare and preschool and free on-demand Section 8 housing for single mothers. Free nannies will be demanded if other demands are met.
