You think we're all sitting on our fat little asses doing NOTHING? Saying NOTHING?

Did you look at the picture on the front page where the women have been shoved to the background while the men testify as experts?

What do you want us to do that we aren't already doing? Walk into the halls of congress and start shooting people???

Shall I post for your benefit some of the threads over the past several years where DUers have tried to advocate for women only to be shouted down by the defenders of "fathers'" rights, including the right not to pay child support and the right to hold yay or nay power over the woman who wants to abort?

Your post, Mr. Scorpio, is a brazen insult to the many women -- and men -- who have been fighting daily for years and decades.




Tansy Gold, who still fights
