I’M UP FOR THAT, Mr. Donlon!

I would like to nominate This piece of Amy’s for that First Online Pulitzer.

Amy’s fantastic work at pulling this all together gives you, the reader, an opportunity to look back and reflect on the bruising sexist battle that has taken place in 2008.

When you see it assembled in this way you begin to realize a couple of things that were lost as it played out in it’s drip, drip, twelve month process.

Because of Amy’s piece, I’m shocked at:

How pervasive Sexism is.

How easily it is excused and dismissed.

How unready the Woman’s movement was, and still is to deal with it.

How un-united the Woman’s movement is in combating it.

What a daily beating Hillary, Sara and their supporters like Mrs. Ferraro took.

How much respect I have for their incredible courage and determination to soldier on.

What an opportunity this work of Amy’s gives to the Woman’s Movement to come together and confront this common enemy.

What Amy has put together is the Ugly Face of Sexism.

Everything in Amy’s work happened in a twelve month period of 2008.

Those who perpetrated it, especially in the media, are the scum of society.

Those who were targeted and stood up to it are the real Heros and the giants of 2008.

What is not known is the Question left hanging over Amy’s work,

Where does the Woman’s movement go from here?

My humble suggestion would be:

A “Never Again” Convention In Seneca Falls N.Y. this summer with Hillary and Sara as Guest speakers.

Once again Amy, I’m blown away by to power of this piece and I hope you get an online Pulitzer for it.

Thanks Larry for posting it.

now, if a republican or a hillary supporter stuck their foot forward and held a rag and a can of shoe polish by an obama cut-out, that would be a serious offense, clearly indicative of deep racial hatred.
