Nice feminism! Boo-hoo. Amanda Marcotte doesn’t like the fact that “feminists” only faux denounce attacks on conservative women as a ploy to pat themselves on their smug backs and cover their own behinds while trying to desperately cling to relevance. The denunciations are never meaningful and, instead, are back-handed and empty.
She didn’t like when Twitchy pointed that out earlier today and called her on it. Stompy foot tantrum and name-calling commences.
http://t.co/dcQ9Sge9 Any hope that conservatives are learning anything about misogyny with the SE Cupp thing can be abandoned.

Last link was a marvel in trying to excuse misogyny against liberals while retaining the right to outrage when it's conservatives.

What is truly a marvel is how someone could come to that conclusion. Pot, meet kettle. Every time “feminists” faux denounce something, they then excuse it by saying “well, her politics are atrocious and she is super icky. What do you expect?”
Only conservative women are allowed to use S.E. Cupp to declare themselves targets of misogyny. cc @AmandaMarcotte http://t.co/gwjs5kW3

@katiathemick @jesseltaylor A day without a wingnuts yelling at me for having a vagina while saying "fuck" is a day w/out sunshine.

Missing the point yet again. And, yet again, all about her.
@NewsCat_in_DC Because they are intent on finding a way to make misogyny okay as long as it's aimed at liberal women.
— Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte) May 24, 2012
Nope. We fight against misogyny, including the systematic misogyny of the Left who treat women as helpless and hapless victims, needing to be tethered to and enslaved by Big Daddy Government for life.
@NewsCat_in_DC I particularly am amused at the attempts to preserve "you have sex" as an insult, because it's so useful against feminists.
— Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte) May 24, 2012
Huh? No one cares about how much sex you or anyone has. The Hustler attack was not about sex at all. It was a vile attack aimed at shutting a woman up and making her submit.
It's depressing to see conservatives downplay, dismiss, and discredit feminists who are defending S.E. Cupp, but not unexpected.
— Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte) May 24, 2012
Your pathetic attempts at feigning concern in order to further the lie that you speak for women is not unexpected.
@KatiePunkin Certainly Twitchy's reaction was pure sexism, denying that it's the same when it happens to liberals, using sexist stereotypes.

Oh, our aching sides! A site run by a woman, employing many women and giving countless more women a voice. Michelle Malkin has empowered more women than the “feminist” movement ever has.
Feminists stand up for the rights of all women, including conservatives all the time.

Now you are just trying to be funny. Right? Well, it would be funny if it wasn’t so disgusting. You stand up for all women? Is that why you think a form of genital mutilation is “just a nick” and that marriage is far worse? And that other atrocities committed against Muslim women aren’t so bad because at least they don’t think an unborn baby is a life? Tell us again who is ‘brutish?’
Feminists get spat on instead of thanked for this, but that doesn't really matter. We stand up for all women, because right is right.
— Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte) May 24, 2012
Stop! We will be unable to pull ourselves up off the floor, in fits of giggles!
Way to be For the Women ™. “Brutish and stupid” — you’ve come a long way, baby.
