That’s the gist of the comments on this post. Feminism hasn’t gotten us very far if that’s the case. If the party of the feminists sees no problem with their candidate being that condescending to women, then I guess all hope is lost.
I suggest that those of you who don’t have a problem with the comment might want to read what the women had to say. I wonder if those women who didn’t have a problem are under 40 because those of us in Obama’s age group remember when that word was used quite freely and in a similarly dismissive and condescending manner as Obama used.

One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1.   She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life.  A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

Would you want a president negotiating with other world powers that has such little control over his tongue?

This woman was lucky. Obama is from inner-city Chicago, where women are referred to and treated like H-’s and b—–s. Has anyone taken the time to consider that Chicago’s inner-cities are worse off now then when Obama worked to improve them? This playa, er, um, politician, couldn’t even clean up some neighborhoods, and he thinks he can better America? If the GOP is smart, they will highlight Chicago/Illinois politics fron and center. Corruption is a culture identifier in Illinois politics.

Nobody who supports the current President can talk about politicians, and control over their tongues. Or their hands.
At least he didn’t give world leaders shoulder massages without their consent.

give me a break michele. this is just another case where you and donny are in the same klub. neither of you give feminism its due so there’s no reason that we should believe that this is suddenly an issue for you.
sorry, sweetie. none of my feminist liberal friends have a problem with this. it’s just one more non-issue for you to stir around. when he smacks you on the ass and throws you a wink with a “hey there sweet cheeks” then we can talk.
