You want to know what was definitely not a reason for my posting about the Sharpton/NAACP debacle? So that conservative assholes could use it as fodder to apologize for the white rapists, call the victims of that crime drunk sluts with “humper’s remorse,” use Sharpton as some kind of bizarre comparison to Obama’s Reverend Wright, call both men “racist” (instead of the accurate description for Sharpton, “sexist”), and proclaim that we should “burn down” Dunbar Village. I didn’t post it so that assholes could jump merrily up and down, clapping their hands and unable to believe their luck, because even the feminists agree with their racist and misogynist remarks.

I mean, I always assumed that the whole thing might be inevitable. But it was the very opposite of the reason for my post. And it still is.

Yours is the kind of support that we do not want and do not need. I absolutely do not agree with you, and we’re sure as hell not on the same side. And I wanted to make that very, very clear.

Good? Good.

    Yep, assholes are always on the lookout for posts that they can use against the feminist bloggers, I’ve seen it done before and it will most likely happen to the best of us several times. But hey, at least you’re making yourself clear and you’re telling them that you’re not supportive of them. Go Cara!

    It’s hard for me to believe that anyone would say that the 13 & 14 year old victims just had “humpers remorse”, and there was possibly no criminal intent in the incident. Disgusting.
