Why do you keep saying
[Read the article: Are Democrats backpedaling on abortion rights?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]things like "women voters" and "the concerns of women" when you know VERY damned well that there are millions of women out there who don't think laissez-faire abortion is a great idea?

Every time a feminist says "wage gap"...
[Read the article: Pink-collar ghetto, here we come!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...she actually means: "I'm a moron who doesn't comprehend how employment functions."
Judy-- would you mind pointing me to a study that PROVES that discrimination (and not any other factors) is the culprit of the wage gap which creates such distress around here?

Quick request for clarification
[Read the article: Obama and late-term abortion]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Most pro-choice supporters, including me, believe some limits are reasonable especially if one believes that some balance between women's autonomy and rights and fostering a society in which life in all its forms is respected would be wise."
Fine, no quibble with that. So tell me: Why is there such a big freak-out whenever any-- and I mean ANY-- limit is proposed? Wasn't the 2003 Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act a limitation on a RARE late-term abortion procedure which the AMA testified before congress as NEVER being medically necessary? Why was there such a big freak-out over that, if some balance is required?

@Al Bania
[Read the article: Is Carly Fiorina secretly working for Obama?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Carly Fiorina presided over the worst downward slide in HP’s entire history. She was asked to resign by the board of directors. HP stock jumped up almost 10% when she did."
And if you talk to people in HP, they'll tell you that she made it harder for different departments to work with each other, too.
But these are FACTS, silly boy, and Broadsheeters never let facts get in the way of a good chance to pump their righteous fists in the air and teach the boys who's boss! GRRRRL PWR!!!! WHOOT!
Your puny male brain is simply too Neanderthal to understand. Go swing your club or hunt wildebeest or something, you rapist bastard!

@The Jim
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]MISOGYNIST!
There, I've rebutted every single one of your points.
Wow, that was almost too easy.
-
Uh, you all DO realize...
[Read the article: Pregnant pause]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...that contraceptives are NOT the same thing as Viagra, right?
The analogy sucks. You have to be delusional to buy it. When condoms are covered by health insurance, maybe you'd actually have a point.
-
Uh huh
[Read the article: Men (and women!) at work]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When I'm driving down the highway at 55 mph and see "Workers ahead" the first thing that pops into my head is invariably: "Ohh, why, some of those workers could be WOMEN!"
"Small linguistic shifts" make a world of difference? Pathetic. There are actual problems in the world and that was not one of them.
It's stunning to note the kinds of trivia that white US feminists always seem to get distracted by.
Ooh, the sign on the women's lavatory is slightly rustier than the sign on the men's lavatory! DISCRIMINATION!!!!!!
-
More unintentional hilarity
[Read the article: Putting boobies on a pedestal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"the combined effect is having turned disembodied women's body parts into just so much cultural detritus to be consumed or ignored."
Bwahahahaha!! And you could actually read such a thing-- something which a stereotypical Limbaugh "feminazi" might say-- without giggling your ass off? Really? REALLY?
Ahahahahaha! Oh my god, you people are a joke!
By the way, doesn't McEwan have a thing for sex-toys? What are vibrators, if not disembodied male body parts to be consumed or ignored?

@pss171
[Read the article: Men (and women!) at work]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hmm, doesn't that sound like if a man had "suggested" or "pressured"?
Not really. If a man had done it, it would've been called "whining".
You don't pay much attention to reality, do you?
-
Hindu priests?
[Read the article: Slipped through the cracks]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Although women were never banned from the Hindu priesthood and ancient Hindu texts show evidence of female priests, it has been a predominantly male profession.
Why there's only one possible culprit: DISCRIMINATION!!!11!
Right?
Oh and about the restrooms: I've never understood why 50-50 parity is always regarded as THE goal for feminists in every area, but when 50-50 exists it's not good enough. Why, oh, why do people think feminists are crazy and hypocritical? Gee, I don't know. Golly, what a mystery.
Hey, maybe it would be "equality" to give ourselves ALL the toilets and have men share a bucket in the basement? Why, it's only proper because of the 10 million years of oppression we've lived through!
-
The only thing...
[Read the article: Putting boobies on a pedestal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...making breast novelty items "anti-girl" is McEwan's insane insistence of being offended by every chickenshit little thing which passes before her eyes.
Oh, yeah, the world is offensive because of the subjective FEELINGS which exist inside your head and no where else. PAH-thetic. How the hell people can even read what passes for "feminist" stuff nowadays without doubling-over in laughter is a miracle.
-
Hah, as if...
[Read the article: Teen pregnancy: "Rational long-term economic choice"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...someone named Mike Males could be as objective as a Broadsheet womyn.
Thought you could slip that damning little clue by us, didn't you PATRIARCHY?
-
A well-deserved break
[Read the article: Broadsheet, out]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Golly, regurgitating the stuff you read at Jezebel and Feministing must really sap your energy. I don't know how you manage to do it 5 days a week. I look forward to seeing lots more intellectually-vacuous fluff after you're all rested. My only hope is that Teh Patriarchy doesn't sneak-in and shut-down Broadsheet while you're away-- You hear that, Patriarchy? We see your nose pressing against the window! And we will not be intimidated by your Bullying Attack Penises, Patriarchy!! NO LONGER!!!
Oh, and by the way-- I never got an answer about why supporters of Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary were allowed to draw attention to Hillary's sex constantly-- perhaps every other day-- but those who supported a different canidate were horrible bastards for doing exactly the same thing?
-
Color me surprised
[Read the article: Theatrical battle of the sexes?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A woman with a chip on her shoulder makes "sexism" accusations based on subjective feelings rather than objective criteria?
Golly, I bet that never happened before.
-
Surely you geniuses realize...
[Read the article: O'Really?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...that there is no such thing as a male birth control pill so the analogy looks kind of dumb to people who haven't drunk the Perpetually-Indignant Feminist flavor of Kool Aid?
Now I can see why I don't fit-in among the Broadsheet crowd. I can't read the phrase "pumped-up penises" without getting a little bit aroused, but the act of writing it makes Ms. Price want to "vomit" apparently.
Well, no one ever got kicked-out of the feminist community for hating men too much.
