by NoahRepublican hyper-disrespect for women: It's in their DNA. It's who they are.Or, to put it this way: When it comes to sexual assault and rape, Republicans offer smirks and winks, not even their disingenuous "thoughts and prayers." It doesn't end there, of course. For instance, when it comes to equal pay for women doing equal work, Republicans take a totally activist approach: They voted against it as recently as 2012. And, lest you think that what we've seen from Republicans during the Kavanaugh hearings is anything new; in 1980, Republicans voted against women being allowed to report sexual harassment in the workplace. For Republicans, the right to sexually assault is policy. It's an entitlement of birth. I'll have more on the subject of Republican attitudes towards women tomorrow.Meanwhile, a thought: Maybe it's time for women to start packing heat; just for self-defense purposes, you know. And, if that ever happened, open carry would be the way to go, wouldn't it? Imagine how conflicted and nervous the NRA-owned Senate Republican caucus would be. So much irony! Imagine how much a vile sexist p.o.s. like Orrin Hatch would twitch if every woman around him was suddenly armed. "Ted" Cruz? He'd be a shattered, whimpering, quivering blob of human ectoplasm hiding under his desk, crying "I'll behave. I'll be good! Don't hurt me." And Lindsey Graham? He'd never be able to handle it, not at all. He'd be changing his Depends every 15 minutes.
