Question for the men: This is serious, not bait: Wondering what you're hearing.

13. What am I hearing?

Well, I work for a large, somewhat progressive company in central Florida. Politics has always been considered out of bounds for management types like me to talk. And abusive or even demeaning language about people based on sex, gender, race, age, etc has been out of bounds for 20 years.

As for my friends...and some of them are republicans. We are all married. I assume they are faithful to their spouses, but who knows. If they ever started taking in a demeaning way about women or any other group...well, they would not be friends. Now, if you consider phases like 'I have to go, the boss is calling', or 'happy wife, happy life', as demeaning, well then maybe so.

Despite what you have read above, not all men are dogs. I guess all men like sex, but many of us are able to engage in the practice of sex with willing partners and without creating victims.

Any of the women of DU who think that all men engage in 'locker-room' talk should think again. Asshole men do. Decent men do not. Even in my republican days I would never stoop to the level of demeaning women.
