Comments on: #MooreandMe: And Then He Came Down http://tigerbeatdown.com/2010/12/22/mooreandme-and-then-he-came-down/ Kumbaya Motherf*cker Central Tue, 07 May 2013 07:22:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kat http://tigerbeatdown.com/2010/12/22/mooreandme-and-then-he-came-down/comment-page-4/#comment-40310 Kat Sun, 16 Jan 2011 06:18:16 +0000 http://tigerbeatdown.com/?p=2595#comment-40310 This pertains more to rape denial that's occurring apart from #MooreandMe, but I was wondering, Sady, if you're familiar with Rap News, Juice Media and this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl4NlA97GeQ&feature=player_embedded It could have been so good, but the treatment of Hilary as shrill and uncaring combined with the dismissive mention of the allegations make it disappointing that it's getting so much good press.

I broke down crying as I read this. I cried tears of sadness and of hope and of joy over a victory that we shouldn't have to risk our physical safety to achieve. Thank you indeed.

To Sady, and to #MooreandMe: Thank you, and you are awesome and impressive. I’ve been away from my computer for a while and missed this when it ran, but I wanted to jubilate a bit that he came down.

It's easy for us men, especially us men of the 'Left', to espouse womens' equality when it involves no self-criticism, no learning, no listening, and no sacrifice. When all that is required is to point the finger at someone else, be he Muslim or Republican. This kind of rhetorical anti-sexism means nothing. Absolutely nothing. Only when it involves ourselves or one of our heroes, only when it requires some cognitive dissonance, is it significant. That is the test of whether we really understand and hold the values we claim, and without our values we are nothing. Thank you for calling out Olbermann and Moore. Take some time to savor this small victory. But still, a "basic human right" as you say has now been relegated to the "Left of the Left." We are on the margins even in 'Progressive' circles. Some people just are not on our side, and will never be. At best, there is a long road ahead; more likely, this is a war that will never end. Peace, sister. From my heart to your blog, it seems.
