13. i thought he got $30 million a year to say this shit
and you say "men" can't say anything? honey, i got news, this man makes tens of millions of dollars, every year, spreading hate against women

do you want to live in a world where women are not even allowed to squeak up and point out that he's a dirtbag?

he spreads sexist hate against women (and racist hate against blacks) and is very well paid for it

there are countries where people who spread hate propaganda are fined and shut down, but america is not one of those countries -- we haven't learned that if we feed people a steady of diet of hate and bigotry, they will become haters and bigots, we actually REWARD the people who are spreading hate and destroying the chances of women in this society

to me that is tragic

14. darling
do you not know my reputation on du, lol.

i agree with you but witht he narassment issues on du lately, i have heard too many men, from too many places, saying these things to me. the very men that will be outraged with limbaugh will on the other hand tell me that women are too sensitive. they cant take a joke. a guy cant even ask a woman out anymore let alone compliment her without her filing a lawsuit.

yes, this man said something sexist. he is a bad man.

i was being snarky without the sarcasm

20. Rush would run for the hills if we women decided to synchronize our menstrual periods
Edited on Thu Nov-10-11 09:47 PM by lunatica
Because heaven knows what in the world would happen if that happened. The drugstores would run out of tampons maybe? Now that's fucking scary!

Run Rush! Run! Save yourself!

22. i don't understand what's funny or offensive about this
If the joke made sense, that would be one thing, but if this one made any sense, it went over my head. Why would they want to synchronize their periods, and how is that offensive? Are periods inherently funny and offensive, so that the mere mention of them causes Rush's fans to laugh and liberals to gasp?

28. My son walked out of his room saying,"Tess is on her period or something..."
When they had an argument. Tess is his best friend. Yes, that is offensive. And I was pissed. And he handed his phone over. At this point in time, it's gone forever (he thinks). Periods, when spoken about as a joke or a description of women's attitudes surely are offensive to speak about.

34. His father learned really quick that was not the way one dealt with
one's wife. MrG made that mistake once. For anyone to marginalize, including my kid, is just beyond.

35. Your kid is going to grow up to be a good man.
Bf's mom is a nurse, she raised 4 boys by herself and none of them understand women's reproductive physiology.

They just think we're some sort of mysterious alien species that can become extremely unpredictable and dangerous when provoked.

They got the last part right anyway.

:D

31. That ship sailed, crashed, burned a decade ago...
How ironic is it that only ESPN has had the nerve to can him. Otherwise, he seems to have a free pass. To think this hateful, disgusting, demeaning, lying, asshole is on worldwide Armed Services radio, just slays me.

He's said stupider, racist, bigoted, homophobic stuff anyway.

33. Problem is, ask any woman and chances are she will tell you that she has been
harassed. This is especially true if she is or was considered pretty or at least attractive at some point in her life.

So, even those Republican women who don't admit it, know what it means to be harassed.

Of course, women who never work outside the home may not experience it. That may explain a lot of the ignorance of Republican women.

39. I think it's more that they see it as either positive attention from men,
so they think of it as an annoyance at most, if they don't want that kind of attention from the man... or what I think is much more common is that they completely buy into the dominant message... e.g. women are supposed to expect that treatment, most of them bring it on themselves, etc.

41. Some may laugh it off as boys will be boys.
But most women will feel humiliated by it.

Take for example a married woman with a husband or a woman with a boyfriend that she fears is jealous or ill or very vulnerable or perhaps even a marriage that is in trouble. She is not going to want to talk about it. She won't want to risk the relationship that means something to her, but she will hate being humiliated.

Women tend to "come out" about this sort of thing because they don't want other women to have to go through the embarrassment, humiliation, fear and self-loathing of having to admit that something that crossed the line between let's say flattering attention or even light flirtation into physical touching or overly familiar language, happened to them. And they don't want some other woman who is naive to fall for such a player.

Mind you, it's only acknowledged as harassment depending on what exactly is done and where. In California, you need to read the statute, go to the EEOC, write a report to them or ask a lawyer.

36. Actually, I've read that this can happen
when women live in close proximity. Not conclusive but not debunked either.

40. The women in Rush's life should synchronize their menstrual periods so
There's at least one having it at all times.
