I guess that's what it boils down to for Ms. Traister. Why am I not surprised? Here's another difference I could point out, though. One of those two Democratic politicians stood up on the floor of the U.S. Senate and practically begged President Bush to invade Iraq for no good reason. And that same person has spent the last 2.5 years defending that indefensible decision, long after it was plain to the meanest intellect that the war had become an unmitigated disaster.

The other person didn't do that.

In other words, one person has tried to get to the White House by climbing over the corpses of over 2300 Americans [almost all males by the way] and one has not.

Hillary Clinton can kiss my ass. [Fortunately, I've still got an ass to kiss; it wasn't shot off in Iraq.] Women like Rebecca Traister, who plan to build the case for Hillary Clinton by suggesting, implying, or stating that those who oppose her are mean ol' misogynists can also kiss my ass. Seriously: KISS MY WHITE MALE ASS. In the most important foreign policy test of the post-Cold War era, Hillary Clinton failed. She got a big, fat F and let American soldiers pay the price for her ignorance and blind ambition. I'm not going to apologize for opposing anyone who deserves my unwavering opposition, whatever the gender of that politician.

Of course, Broadsheet could also consult another of their favorites, Cindy Sheehan. I think she's also got an ass she'd like Hillary Clinton [and Rebecca Traister] to kiss.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It's all the fault of men. We're spreading this false image and that false image and that other false image over there. Even if all that is true -- and it is because it's a proven fact that men are awful -- do women have to fall for all this crap so easily? Jeebus, women have minds of their own, correct?

If there has been real damage due to child birth or some other trauma or birth defect, that's one thing. But otherwise, cosmetic surgery on the vagina is really -- REALLY -- stupid. And yes, I know this is all the fault of men. As Vice Chairman of the Evil Male Conspiracy Against All Women [Mid-Atlantic Division], I acknowledge this is all our fault, since we've been spreading this "you must cosmetically alter your vagina immediately" mantra for the last 14 months. Nevertheless...do they have to fall for it so easily?

What the hell?

[And don't tell me that being chronically insecure makes women better people and that there is some intrinsic decency in being unable to realistically regard their own bodies. It doesn't make you a good person. It just makes you pathetic. Not very attractive, ladies. And isn't that what it's all about, being attractive to men? Work on that, please. That our new mantra and we'll push it without mercy for the next 14 months, if necessary.]

Yeah, it's a bit weird that the Germans came up with a fragrance called Vulva, but it is also a country where women had orgasms looking at Adolf Hitler and David Hasselhof is considered a pop star.

All this does is prove my long-held belief: Germans are weird.

Just accept it and move on.

It's for the child. You bring something into this world, you need to look after it, even if you didn't want it in the first place. Sometimes life just isn't fair and you have to do the best with the hand you're dealt.

Didn't men know this at one time? I loathe all these men's rights groups who think they can defend the rights of men by imitating the excesses of the feminist movement. This latest nonsense is nothing more than a silly media stunt. Leave that crap to the Gloria Allreds of the world, gentlemen. Can't we do better than that?

Stop whining, fellows. It's undignified.

Ask Senator Clinton or Secretary Rice. The former virtually begged President Bush to invade Iraq and the latter helped sell the war with her preposterous talk of "mushroom clouds" over U.S. cities. So start with them.

Many of the people attacking Senator Clinton right now are progressives and they're doing so "for all the right reasons."

Nobody should be forced to become a parent against their wish, man or woman.

Start up a collection to help relocate all the women in South Dakota who have the nerve to believe that their reproductive systems don't belong to the state.

And we shall emerge stronger and more oppressive than ever before!

George Clooney makes political movies and political statements. If Reese Witherspoon has ever made a political movie I must have missed it. As far as I can tell, the most political thing she's ever said is that it is important to be a good parent.

Here's the deal: Women get a TON more attention than men on Oscar night. Heck, on any awards show night. Two of the biggest reasons for this are attire and lack of attire, though the latter is not really an issue at the Oscars. The female celebrities love the attention they get from their clothes or lack of clothes. They court it. They demand it. They go out of their way to loiter on the red carpet so people can take photos of them.

So they shouldn't be asked about it? In which parallel universe does that make sense?
