The republican response to their war on women…

Well…have just been reading about the new repub talking point that will try to distract voters from their war on women…a war that is clear from what they do, trying to restrict birth control access, trying insert the government into women’s healthcare decisions, and trying to charge women more for their insurance since they have “ladyparts” that are more complex than men’s parts and can cost their friends in the insurance industry more money for claims. But now, the new talking points are out and here is what they consist of: trying to say that the dems are really the ones who are pushing the war on women since Bill Clinton fooled around…yep…the false equivilency that they have been pushing in the media for years, that the haters and racists on the right are the same as the social justice folks on the left is now being rolled out to try to say that one man cheating is the same as an entire party who makes it their reason for being to restrict the rights of women. Just another bit of idiocy from one of the best idiots on the right, Rand Paul…I just can’t remember a more stupid thing to say in a long, long time…even with a bunch of these folks on the right trying hard to beat it every day…geez…

Why do repubs hate women so much?

Well…you know that I’ve talked about the continuing lack of respect for womens rights that oozes from the repubs daily from the 967 laws that have been introduced in repub controlled legislatures to limit womens access to abortion and even to contraception over the past year…and, with these idiots, you knew there would be new attacks. The latest is the hand wringing over the fact that some married women make more money than their husbands and the repubs are blaming this fact for all of the ills in society and they think this is the reason that men are being marginalized…if they are. My thoughts are that, yeah, on the right a woman earning more than a man is a huge problem…on the left, not so much. But, the whole thing comes down to the control that men on the right think they should have over the women in their lives and they are threatened that if they continue to be the mistreating assholes they are, the woman in their life that has the means to kick him to curb, will. It’s just about fear of change that these guys can’t take….it’s one thing that I taught my children over the years is that men and women are equal…period…no discussion on that point..just wish the idiot repubs would do the same…geez…
