Is going after Limbaugh opportunistic, especially on the part of Democrats who have occasionally been willing to throw women’s reproductive rights under the bus? Absolutely. Is there a massive difference between sexist insults and a sustained attack meant to silence a woman who is advocating for policies that would benefit other women? Yes, but let’s not pretend any of this is about policy or real women’s lives! The “war on women” is not about misogynistic insults. Those are merely a symptom of the same disease that, more critically, is causing a political onslaught on women’s health and rights.

Unfortunately, the “but liberal men are sexist” meme has been picked up by those on the right who are the most opportunistic pseudo-feminists of all, the ones who think forced-ultrasound laws can justly be called “Women’s Right to Know” acts. As writer Katie Heaney said on Twitter this morning, “GOP dudes who say liberals don’t attack Bill Maher on his sexism aren’t listening to feminists. Sort of their problem in the first place?”
