Nov 2012

and were they sliming any other "protected group", you can bet your sweet self

it would NOT have been. Your analogy to the Sandra Fluke case is spot on.

I don't know if you're male or female, but most of the dumb ass male "progressives" here

just LOOK for a reason , e.g. right wing politics, to vent their very unsubtle misogyny.

They SUCK, but, like the phoney "progressives" they are, they will countenance no "correction" from

a smart woman like Seabeyond. We get trashed ALL the time here for complaining

about insults they wouldn't DARE say about Gays, Muslims or Racial Minorities. I don't know if

you know her, but a writer from The Nation, Katha Pollitt, spoke the truth recently,

in claiming that "Misogyny is the Last Acceptable Prejudice of the Left".
