Rush Limbaugh: ‘Mad Men’ Showed How Militant Feminism Totally Screwed Up Society

Looks like the GOP outreach effort to women and minorities is continuing unabated.

---

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday said the AMC show “Mad Men” illustrated how “militant feminism” completely “screwed up human nature.”

On his show, Limbaugh responded to a listener who wrote in to address “Mad Men” and the “wild enthusiasm” of its viewers. The listener asked whether fans of the television show, which was set in the 1950s and '60s, yearned for the “satisfaction and sexiness of traditional sex roles.”

“What are traditional sex roles? You start throwing around terms like that today to your typical, average agitated feminist,” Limbaugh said, before making an explosion sound. “You don’t want to be around for the reaction to that!”

Limbaugh said "militant feminism” is the crux of society’s problems.

Oh how I wish time travel were possible. I would so round up all these assholes who want to "take America back" and send them to the era that they wish America was more like.
