Part of me has to think they’re sitting back and trying to figure out the most insane crap they can just to see how much they can get a rise out of anyone who actually has a brain. It’s somehow less troubling than believing they actually believe in what they say.

I second that emotion. As a guy, I’m appalled at the regressive turn of events this year, as the old guard tries to cling to their control of women’s rights. I did enjoy it when the “Viagra hypocrisy” thing was pointed out, though! 😉 What a bunch of boners!

For what it’s worth, it depresses the holy hell out of me, too. It really does seem as though the Old White Men’s Lodge had a meeting and decided that their womenfolk were getting a mite too uppity and needed some seeing to.

I hate being a member of that privileged class, too. I feel like I should be able to do more to help stop this trend, but these Old White Men are also Rich and Powerful Old White Men and I am certainly not a member of that cabal.

I like to think it’s because women are actually getting more power/recognition and this crap is just noisy backlash. But I’m probably kidding myself. However, I’d rather be a woman these days than any other time period.
