Sorry Peggy whether you realize it or not there is a "war on Women".
No matter how much you wish it wasn't true won't make it go away.
You just don't realize just how scared of Rush your side of the aisle happens to be, he was merely highlighting the current Republican stance on "Women". Insomuch as this whole fiasco is about "the terminology", the ideology remains the same, you agree with the sentiments it's only when it is put in its starkest terms that you object. There is nothing new in what he has said, the right has been using it incessantly, you just didn't like the language.
The only reason that you are objecting the language is that it puts your whole argument in terms everyone can understand, and that annoys the hell out of you.
For all the wrappings up in piety, the wailing about religious freedom is to cover pure misogynist reasoning, the truth is out. Hiding behind faith just doesn't work when someone explains the principles simply.
It is such a shame that your de facto leader decided to simplify the code, now everyone has the translation of current legislative attempts to hand, it's such a goddamned shame.
It is not the word "slut" that offended, its the fact that their misogyny has been made clear in simplistic terms rather than hidden behind a wall of pious faith and zealotry.
Damn; what a pity.
