BUT....<br/><br/>I think the vitriolic reactions to NARAL's endorsement of Obama are typical of second wave feminism (which Melissa Harris-Lacewell critiqued in her comments about Gloria Steinem and co). And they underscore the gender-race divide that exists between so-called liberal white women and blacks. The comments really do show that white feminists will forever be unable to step outside their privilege.<br/><br/>I think this election is revealing people's true colors (pun intended). LOL.

I need a shower after reading through all the bile being thrown around. You'd think the Anti-Christ got an endorsement! Those women are really a piece of work. Not one person offered any legislation as an example of Obama's so-called disqualification for supporting women's reproductive rights. It was just I want Hillary blah blah blah...I'm not giving NARAL any more money...hate hate hate. The sense of entitlement and the pure unadulterated...gender bias was very telling. And SCARY!

They're approaching 2000 comments on the post and I would say most are vitriolic in their opposition...Kind of an odd feeling for me, as NARAL has been on my yuck list for several years (Alito, supporting Lieberman against Lamont, etc) -- but in this I think they're shown good sense and some courage.
