Why Do Republicans Hate Women So Much?

Post by _Some Schmo »

I mean, seriously? Is it a power thing?

The GOP is the party of white men. Women who call themselves Republican should ask themselves why they are so hostile to other women (not to mention their own quality of life).

I imagine many are just in denial about it. Maybe they think the GOP is only hostile toward women not like them (the slutty types who want to use abortion as birth control). Holy “F”, if that's the case, talk about denial. When I try to imagine a hard core Republican woman, all that comes to mind is a commander's wife from The Handmaid's Tail. Complete sell-outs.

I suspect most women who vote GOP do it out of tradition/obligation. They'd have to. If they were paying attention to the consequences, they'd never willingly do something so adverse to their own quality of life. You can bet that many, if they were unexpectedly faced with an unwanted pregnancy, would suddenly think having the option to abort was a good thing, even if that decision was painful.

Either that or they're just damned dumb. It seems to me that voting against your interests is one of the primary attributes of all GOP voters (except large business owners and others exceptionally selfish and wealthy, of course).

Press: Judge Kavanaugh must withdraw

Do you still wonder why more women don’t immediately come forward?

And now a second woman, Deborah Ramirez, has stepped forward with further accounts of sexual abuse by Kavanaugh, this time when he was a student at Yale. The new revelation suggests a pattern of behavior, not one isolated incident. But Ramirez immediately received the Ford treatment. She’s also been called a liar, a Democratic operative and part of a media-driven smear campaign.

How many more women are Republicans willing to destroy in their desperate attempt to pack the court with another extreme conservative?

If Kavanaugh didn't do it, should he still withdraw?

It doesn't really matter whether Kavanaugh actually did this or not. What matters is that more than one woman believes he did. The greater good justifies lies like this.

Yeah, someone tell the moronic OP that "hating" is not party specific (but stupidity seems to be exclusively Democrat these days):

Well, if he hadn't been shown to commit perjury, I would say no, he shouldn't withdraw. What he should do is encourage the FBI to investigate. That's what an innocent person who genuinely wants to clear his name would do.

Does it matter to you that Kavenaugh has been shown to commit perjury? The evidence of that is pretty compelling. He is at least guilty of considerably stretching or hiding the truth for his own benefit on previous occasions. The apparent willingness of Republicans to ignore or gloss over that fact should be disturbing to any honest person.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

You hit the nail on the head there. The key word is honest. If you're dishonest, it won't bother you at all. You'll care more about forcing women to have babies they don't want and that you don't want to help raise.
