Calling all bitches
Obligatory disclaimer: As a lesbian in the Crone phase of my life, I wholeheartedly embrace the term "bitch" as a retaking and female empowering of a term used by the patriarchy to put down women. I am activating my bitch power. Please read on. If you disagree, argue here.
Edit to clarify that men and everyone else are welcome to join, too. Not reserved for women. Bitches unite and let's kick some ass!
Regarding this crisis: I've noticed that people who want power over others focus on that one goal. They aren't distracted by other issues, such as questioning themselves, worrying about how others feel, etc. This is how they build power. Everybody else is trying to live their lives, with a complicated mix of feelings and goals. The bullies take advantage of that. Nice people try to see the good in everyone, assume everyone is acting in good faith, and they don't like to make judgments. They try to figure out what's going on and want to believe everyone is being sincere. This gives bullies all the power.
It takes a lot of courage for nice people to stand up and do or say something that seems "not nice." Like, calling somebody a liar. It's hard for a lot of people.
I'm beginning to see a natural role for bitches like me during this crisis. I'm not a particularly nice person. I don't mind calling people liars.
Hmmmm....

My emphasis. Well, a full kudo to yardwork for acknowledging Progs' methods and purpose. Has any DU-member pointed out yet what she just admitted?
ETA: It's only been up for 27 minutes, but it has 5 approving Replies and two Replies to others' by her.

What a dumb bitch.
I don't even know what that stupid bitch is talking about.

It sounds like she's trying to pretend how she is the good person so she can justify why she hates everyone who she deems to be bad.

She's just another 60-year-old shut-in lesbian who sits at home trying to do activism on a keyboard. Once in a while she'll put on her ***** hat and go stand on a streetcorner with a sign that reads "FASCIST!" and complain about the price of the coffee in her other hand.
"mopinko in training" is no way to enter one's emeritus years.

Obligatory reply: It is only because of the benevolence of the patriarchy that you have the freedom to rail against it. If men as a group decided tomorrow that you have no rights, you'd have no rights and there would be nothing you could do about it. See every country where women have to cover their face or be escorted when walking in public, for examples. You are literally too stupid to know how good you have it, or who is responsible for how good you have it.
Men keep this country running. Infrastructure and life as YOU know it would be over within a very short time if men as a group decided to say 'F you, you're on your own'. Electricity would be gone quickly, oil would stop flowing, refining into fuel would rapidly come to and end, transportation as we know it would end, shipping as we know it would end, there would be no one to put out your fires and no way to get to them even if women tried, prisons would empty without men to guard them, police departments would close their doors because an all woman police department would fail hard.
Life as you know it and take so much for granted while looking down your nose at those who benevolently provide it, would be OVER. Show some gratitude and some respect. Go make a man a sammich and say 'thank you'.

Good reply and I gave you a high five for it, unfortunately I hit the bitch slap by accident first. My bad.

Well, that is what CMD did to yardwork.

Nor do I; however, we're not alone because it doesn't know what it's talking about either.
I'm reminded of a quote from Shelton Cooper's (Big Bang Theory) mailman: Bitches be crazy!

I have no idea what the point of that post is. It's Kamala grade word salad.

I think it's one of those "Tell me you're a crazy, friendless cat lady, without actually saying you're a crazy, friendless cat lady" rants that seem so popular over there. But I have to admit, I do enjoy threads like this one where they proclaim how nasty and antisocial they are. They are a nice complement to the frequent threads where they've estranged themselves from all of their friends and family and they look for sympathy because they are suicide-level lonely when the holidays roll around. Yardwork's post and all the follow-on replies allow me to be empathy free without any guilt.

I thought all lesbians were in their crone phase.
