In reply to Mack Lyons. That is exactly what I was thinking of, the similarities between the Taliban and Evangelical Christians ( actually the conservatives of any religion) when I wrote that phrase. :)

In reply to IrishGrrrl.

You know what the (not-so)-funny part is? These misogynists also tout themselves as being “Christians,” yet they share the same misogynistic bent as fundamentalist Islamics.

“Cover her up, shut her up, and lock her up” is also what guys like the Taliban do to the women under their influence. Too bad our own American Taliban (aka fundamentalist “Christian” conservatives) are simply too stupid or too drunk off of their faux patriotism to realize that.

In reply to D_C_Wilson. That part of the equation isn't important to true misogynists because in their eyes the sin is all hers...the man is the victim and never takes responsibility for giving into temptation. She is guilty iPod being sexually attractive just by existing so they have to de-sexualize her (cover her up, shut her up, and lock her up).

In reply to Brutlyhonest. And the irony: There are more whites on assistance than any other group, especially in the south.

“If these young women are being responsible and didn’t have the sex to begin with, we wouldn’t have this problem to begin with”

Who do they think these women are having sex with?

This is why the moral equivalence is a false comparison. Rush Limbaugh’s not so innocent attacks on women’s rights isn’t just talk. The GOP is actually waging a war on women.

This is so anti-freedom.

A big part of this that doesn’t get openly discussed much is the inference that only poor people – and we know that they’re all brown – need government assisted family planning services. Of course, since the rwnjs are always bitching about the welfare queens having too many babies and perpetuating the welfare lifestyle, you’d thing they would want to help stop unwanted pregnancies.

Fucking asshats.

The commissioners didn’t think it was right to use taxpayer money to pay for women who want to have sex for non-procreative purposes.

I think Rick Santorum just found his natural constituency.
