(22,308 posts)speaks before Congress, just once, and is then viciously attacked for 3 days as a slut and prostitute who makes plans to have sex with three guys in one night ahead of time and feels somehow entitled to taxpayers money being spent to make sure she doesn't get pregnant and is even told that she now needs to post videos of herself having sex so that the man attacking her can watch.... Then having others join in on that attack (all of FOX news and talk radio) to continue the attacks into the next week....that would be the same as....
Your daughter spending years as a mayor, then being elected governor. Then being picked as the Vice Presidential candidate on a major party ticket in her mid 40s. Then speaking on national TV and at the party's convention, and continuing to speak out every day, and having one jerk call her some terrible names. Even though she has all the resources of that major party to respond with?
You call that equal?
For the sake of your girls you should think more about this. If Ms. Fluke can be attacked like this they anyone can. It isn't the same as someone who chose a public life.
