Deep down, repubs don't like the idea of taking orders from a woman.

[Philosoraptor]

They'll never admit it in public, but they hate liberal women in particular, Hillary and Nancy being female enemies numbers one and two.

I also think they think the same way about powerful republican women.

I really do feel that the days of the good ol' white boy network are slowly coming to a close.

1. Good for them.

You are right. Conservatives believe in the strong father figure family model which is the basis of the patriarchal family, the fuedal society and the master/servant employment model.

2. Doesn't seem very deep down to me!

I think there's no shortage of old-school chauvinists who'll just say right out they don't think women should be in leadership positions. Essentially I concur, though.

edited to add: concur with your points, not with the chauvinists'!

[EstimatedProphet]

3. I have yet to meet a Republican who isn't in some way a bigot.

It's in their nature.

4. I wouldn't either

unless I had a safe word.

But seriously, nobody should like taking orders from anyone. It's a big part of the reason we're in this mess called 2006.

5. no question about it; they want women to stay 'in their place.' same w/ non-whites,

gays, non-christians, etc. their entire ideology is built on a hierarchal system of dominance where the white man is at the top. not very long ago, they were very frank about this, but now that it is not PC they try to cover it up a little, but it is definitely still there. make no mistake.

8. Especially when you consider what priorities Repukes have

Funding for birth control? Nope. Women being allowed to make their own decision about their own body? Nope.

But hey, if a guy wants Viagra ...

6. Deep down Rethugs don't like women n/t

[VelmaD]

7. It isn't just the republicans

You can still find a lot of buried resentment of women in a lot of Democratic men as well.

[Swamp Rat]

9. Yeah, look what it did to Carville:

:D

[Sequoia]

10. It's not that deep down.

[Greeby]

11. Au Contrare, they like taking orders from a woman

But only when she's in full S&M gear, riding crop and whip in hand, and only after they've paid for the pleasure :eyes:

[JavDom]

12. Unless she's Ann Coulter

They'd get on all fours and bark like a dog for that woman. I don't get it.

[Bozita]

13. Remember coach Bill McCartney and his "Promise Keepers"?
