The Onion: How The GOP Can Appeal To Women



In light of Donald Trump’s controversial comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and the Republican Party’s divisive views on Planned Parenthood, many are wondering how the party will win the female vote in next year’s presidential election. Here are some ways the GOP can appeal more to the nation’s women:


-Make it clear that they think everyone, not just women, should receive less health care
-Offer direct, heartfelt apology to any female donors they may have offended
-Clarify that their war on women is really more of a limited-scale combat engagement on women
-Remind voters that they’ve been nothing but nice to their secretaries.

Misogyny is taught to us as is racism.

If a liberal male talks about how he has worked hard to rid himself of his misogyny, the idiots on the right will attack him for having been misogynist at all, while they continue TO BE misogynists.

Certain people in our society are misogynists and racists to some degree but dont want to be, and then there are those who are and want to be, are proud of it.

Guess which political party each is likely to identify with.

No, I dont have a chart, but we all know it is true.

Good recipe for baking a republican!

Didn't used to be this way. Someone is putting something in their water (or scotch).
