critical of what you said. And I don't disagree about all women holding all issues to identical ranks and standards of importance. Depending on where a woman or man is in their lives there are always different ranks of importance. It's just life.

I really don't see the tribalism you find here, but then I stay out of lots of fights on DU because I don't want to be sucked into a vortex of argumentation over extended periods of time. For one thing, this is the Internet, fer gawd's sake. I just can't take the Internet too seriously as a personal matter in my life.

What I DID see here in the past few days was feminists' disgust and justifiable anger over the SCOTUS rulings. That's when standing together really counts. Could it be that the "back patting" you see here was actually meant as supportive?
