In reply to the discussion: Why has no one called out Rachel Maddow for her misandry? [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)56. I don't think she really did that, though
She was using the concept of people not understanding that there is not a clear line between abortion and contraception that can be conveniently defined as "life begins at conception." They aren't getting that if that were true, some of the BC pill's effects could be seen as terminating a life since there can still be fertilized ovum in the birth control pill context.
That includes pro-life women and excluded pro-choice men. The man cave thing was just a comedic device.

How is Rachel different than Bill Maher or other liberals who've crawled up your butts?

My shift is about up, and by the time I rise this thread will have been vaporized by Team Maddow

I'm in my "man cave" right now. Actually it's just the computer room, however...

Because most men aren't so overly sensitive that they see 'evil intentions' behind every joke.
