Unless the national leadership of the National Organization for Women comes out and takes a stand against the rampant stupidity of the NY chapter, even the remaining few friends they have in the world will write them off as completely loons (no offense to any aquatic birds reading this).

It seems that the NY chapter of NOW has said that Caroline Kennedy is a sex-traitor for not endorsing the only uterus in the presidential field. Using language you would expect to find in a white-separatist screed against “race-mixing” and ending with this doozy:

This latest move by Kennedy, is so telling about the status of and respect for women’s rights, women’s voices, women’s equality, women’s authority and our ability – indeed, our obligation- to promote and earn and deserve and elect, unabashedly, a President that is the first woman after centuries of men who “know what’s best for us.

So, as far as I can tell, if any woman looks at the candidates for the Democratic nomination objectively, without taking into account race, religion or sex, then that woman is anon-feminist and a traitor to women everywhere? What kind of happy horseshit is that? I will no sooner vote for you because you are a woman than I will because you are white. That is identity politics at its worst, reflexive, tribal level, and anyone who would stoop to employing it will never have my vote or support.

If the only way to get this particular woman elected is to vote based on her anatomy, perhaps she isn’t the right person for the job.
