Losing Roe v Wade should be a wakeup call to the woke to re-evaluate

(This is a continuation of a response I gave to White Women Are Responsible For the Dismantling of Roe v. Wade by Vena Moore.)

The irony here is when you say the quiet part out loud, you have to get some coffee, play Sudoku and patiently weather the tantrums and accusations raining down on you because you popped their righteous balloon. And if you stand by what you say, you must breathe your way through the emotional and psychological table saw you’ll be fed into, face first, before logic takes hold. Soooooo, before I’m accused of “hating white women”…let me say that

  1. If the new feminist movement, cuz I’m for the old (older? original?) feminist movement with Angela Davis, Camille Paglia and all those women whose works I read but are probably cancelled now, because they dared to have an opinion that isn’t popular. But again, if the new woke feminists are serious about all of us being equal, (re: equity! yay!) then I can point out their irritating idiosyncrasies and glaring imperfections (like they do MEN all the f-ing time). Paul Mooney once said, “white people, you can be talked about too”, but I’m sure some triggered person will reply that he was really a misogynist or a criminal (he’s black, so of course!) an embezzler! or a guy with an opinion that didn’t favor anything that SHOULD be favored today, and he was dangerous to women and children and kittens and puppies and…soup and hugs…
