So the NYT wonders today why all these years later, no one has stepped up to fill Gloria Steinhem's shoes. Dear NTY, perhaps you've noticed what happens to women who dare to speak up for their own rights in this country. Right now the wingnuts are calling Ms. Fluke all kinds of terrible things, are picking on her boyfriend, her boyfriend's parents, and his grandparents. And they do it deliberately to make sure women know that if they open their mouths, they'll pay a huge price.
