Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007
248,300
The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

Conan O'brienThe Lowest Common Misogyny Denominator of Louis CK and Bill Maher and the great news that readers hate anti-woman bigotsFriday, March 16, 2012 at 2:37 pm — admin
Last night I was watching a Conan O'brien –musta been a re-run because it was pretty late—but not sure. Anyway the VILE Misogynist Louis C.K. was on and Conan was licking his butt, telling folks just what a funny guy Bigot Louis C. K. is when Louis C.K interrupted him to yet again suggest violence against women. Louis C.K. said he couldn't understand why homeless men didn't just kill women with purses and take their money because the men are hungry... The Male-Plated Misogyny of Wanda SykesThursday, December 17, 2009 at 1:38 pm — admin
Last night Wanda Sykes appeared on Conan O'Brien to showcase her Liberal Misogyny. Evidently when it comes to Tiger Woods, Wanda feels the need to use misogyny and sexism to protect HER MAN. We saw this with Obama, time and time again. When it came to HER MAN no denigration of the female sex was too low to go in an effort to protect HER MAN. Why do so many liberal women have a bizarre need to use misogyny to protect men? The short answer: they are the Mommy party, and evidently many "liberal" Mommies NEED to have an all-Powerful Daddy in the TOP DOG spot. Conan Bests Letterman, Bad Journalism at teh NYTimes, and Missy Dowd dives off the Deep End-again.Monday, July 13, 2009 at 7:32 pm — admin
