Yesterday there was a blog post on this subject with Republicon NY State Senator Marty Golden of Brooklyn setting up "classes" to teach women to act like ladies. You know, we should be like Donna Reed (rest her soul) or one of the other 1950 wives and mothers that we (or our parents) watched every week on TV. Apparently Mr. Golden thinks that we're not female enough and need to take lessons on this. There was a lot of grief received at his office and he's back tracked on this and, fortunately, has cancelled these classes. I thought you would like to see some of the stories and what was said. I was also listening to an all news radio channel last night and what some of the women in his district said leads me to think he's lost a lot of votes with this. Golden's comments are right out of the Republicon playbook on women.
By the way, his Democratic opponent is Andrew Gounarades and if you want to donate to his campaign you can go to his web site and also his Act Blue page.
