How utterly ridiculous of you to make the comment about Disir. You don't know anything about her thoughts and or ideals.
Typical right wing tea party agenda from you.

Well, my grandmother is 72, and at least she acts her age and doesn't give in to these sordid standards women set for themselves or other women. She's lived too long to be taken in by that garbage. She's mature enough not to use her gender as a weapon. The last time she voted Democrat was in 1996 because she saw where the Democrats were headed, and she views this war on women as offensive. She was a farm hand on her father's farm, working with two of her eldest sisters, and he worked her like a dog; but she earned her keep and was better off for it. She never molded herself to the stereotypes of women then, and she most certainly does not now.
Disir is one of those women who are told what to think, and she projects that behavior onto others. Her precepts of women aren't the status quo, they are a rarity. In reality there are plenty of women who willingly defy the picture the Democratic party paints of women to their base and to prospective voters. It is a form of base identity politics where the Democrats get women into apoplectics over supposed advancements on their rights (contraception, pay, abortion, etc). It's as if Democrats like Disir believe that's all women care about. Newsflash, not all women are Democrats. And no, not all women are concerned about pay equality, abortion, or contraception. A lot of them care about the economy, are military wives worrying for their husbands fighting overseas, and work multiple jobs to raise children.
