9. Anger Is Justified
Fri Feb 24, 2012, 08:26 PM
Feb 2012

I would tell that idiot to F himself. It is ok to be angry about injustice and maltreatment. It is a way of putting off a person and keeping them from addressing a grievance. Were it me I would have shown him what anger was with my scorching verbal reply.

Women need to get mad and stay mad otherwise women will really lose. This incremental pushing women back has been going on and growing since Reagan. This blitz is the eleventh hour for women. If they gain power in November women will lose for generations. You have to go after the Catholic bishops with a vengeance. Screw those pedophile bastards.

MY personal view I do not care what you think of my justified anger because you are going to have to deal with it and you are not going to like what happens next.

I see that remark as a mysogynist insult to a woman. And I am a man.
