Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 23, 2013

My over/under for comments is 75.

I doubt anything Republicans can say to their opponents will turn off female voters if their misogynistic legislative actions haven’t done so already.

There’s “positions that many women disagree with”, and then there’s “forgetting I’m not in a men’s locker room circa 1950.”

I would pay to live in the world of Doonesbury where Repubs are politically incorrect and Dems are supposedly saintly people

Sexism! Just in time for Christmas! (It’s gonna get ugly up in here….)

Tiptoeing with fixed bayonet, uphill, through the minefield…

Actually, it plays more like high school in U.S. society…businesses, churches…most folks haven’t left the pettiness of that mentality behind them.

No, more like sending Trump to hairdressing college.

Or Bill O’Reilly to a seminar on successful socialism.

Roland, “the gals” would like a word with you…

So which repubs are being challenged by Females?

Ha! I would like to politely ask if you are menopausal?! LOL!!! This line is not so far from what really happened in recent years with our wonderful GOP candidates, over and over again. The GOP has made it too easy for the comics as of late. We Dems don’t have to try all that hard to make fun of this stuff. It is so easy. You don’t get a pass if you are a misogynist tripping over you words on a campaign. It just doesn’t work that way. Even if you are just a casual observer, who is not a Democrat, it isn’t at all difficult to see the comedy of errors on the GOP campaign trails these days.

I meant casual observer with lowercase letters, Casual Observer, in which you may or may not be included, as you choose, of course…

“Lovely weather we’re having, isn’t it?”

.“YOU’RE A MAN! WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW?”.“Is something wrong?”.“WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!?!”.“I don’t know but you seem upset.”.“SO NOW YOU’RE SAYING I’M TOO EMOTIONAL AND HORMONAL?”.“Have a nice day.”.“AND WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? TYPICAL MAN.”?Gotta love ’em.

Interesting – for some reason I woke up this morning thinking of James Watt. (A hell of thing for the first day of my vacation.) He was actually presented with a sculpture a foot with a hole shot in it.

Many repubs are being challenged by females. Not all of us females are running for office, however. I hear that Sen. McConnell is getting a serious challenge from a female who is running for office. We don’t all have to be of a certain gender in order to stand up for other human beings, so that is a good thing.

Hey, maybe the Democrats will do like they did on Mother’s Day and spit in women’s faces, then blame the GOP like Trudeau does.

The end of men forever- Bigot much?

The fact that the GOP is holding sensitivity training classes to teach their candidates how to speak to women without being misogynistic really says we all we need to know about their views on women and where they think our place should be.

Since the 2010 midterms, when the GOP ran on jobs, jobs, jobs, there have been well over 170 bills restricting women’s access to health care and reproductive choices introduced into state legislatures across the country, each being more restrictive than the last. There are more than a few mad men who like nothing more than to see our rights revert back to pre-1920’s conditions. The GOP can hold all of the sensitivity training workshops they want, women won’t be fooled. We know what their true agenda is.

I often think that these poor creatures must be terrified of strong, capable women. Otherwise, why the urgent rush to return us to second class citizenship?

“to circumvent we men.”-to circumventto circumvent usto circumvent us menWe men will be circumventedThey will circumvent us-or not

“No wonder Barack Obama gets the women’s votes. They believe he can be changed.”-That was sexistFUNNY but sexist

Just the latest in republican victimhood. “We should be able to say any nasty thing we want and not be held accountable for it. You, on the other hand, have to be nice, and careful when you speak to us. Otherwise you’re bullies.”

Misread much?=No, I’m not misreading someone who says ‘The end of men forever’. If he was taking about how some women would like to create families with same sex partners, that might be one thing (and that isn’t how its done right now; it’s still necessary to fertilize the egg with sperm. Cloning of people is not allowed yet).=But that was not what was said. If Clark Kent’s comment was meant as sarcasm, it didn’t come across as such. =There is way too much hostility between religions, genders and political philosophies for humans to survive, at the rate we’re going….

“No need to be a grammar ass.”-True.But it’s not a matter of NEED

Only a Republican would believe that our current prez has achieved nothing in terms of personal achievement. A guy who was president of Harvard Law Review. Later, a US Senator and then prez of the US. He achieved getting health care reform passed, even if it is not perfect, it is a start. Health care reform is an extremely complicated issue. It was never going to be easy. To say that he has had no personal achievements is simply factually incorrect, no matter what your political beliefs.

I predict that one day, later in this decade, Trudeau will start bashing Democrats too, and that will be an indication that he has developed a revolutionary proletarian consciousness.

Actually, as I posted in a vent to the Atlanta paper, let the republicans keep talking this way, and we’ll keep winning elections. That’s why I love it that they can’t change their minds and won’t change the subject (commonly known as the definition of a fanatic).

I think you mean “what gender group”, because isn’t the more important issue here? lol

Why on earth, would Republican think any of their candidates need sensitivity training?

I could start naming GOP crazies but there isn’t enough time or space in the world…

Any of them hiking the Appalachian Trail, mt?Oh, that’s right, they elected him to the House, didn’t they?They never punish their liars, do thry?

OTOH, Bush has a big, big hat and is all bull. -Or, those 4000+ soldiers who died in Iraq, would they have died anyway? Natural causes and all that?

Statistically, the best predictor of violent criminal behavior, surpassing race, intelligence, socio-economic class, educational level, … is being male. About 90% of felons, certainly of violent felons and murderers, are male. The person most likely to murder a man is another man of his acquaintance. By far the person most likely to murder a woman is her husband/lover/ex. In fact, most women who are murdered in this country are killed not by home invaders, robbers, lunatics, etc., but by husbands/lovers/exes.

Looks like, it will be way under.
