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.

Front page of New York Daily News Tues. June 21: "Rikers: If you dress like a slut, you must wear our jail house smock." It hurts to see women being so addled and stupid that they think embracing the world slut after a Canadian cop warned women off "dressing like a slut" will deter people from using the word to demean women. Inside story said: "Rikers Island is trying to turn down the heat by covering up the skanks--and keeping out the skanks."

Remember when liberal media called Hillary Clinton a "big Fucking Whore." And a "White Bitch." And that a man should be "take [Clinton] into a room and only he comes out." In order of citation: Air America, the New York Timesm, and MSNBC. Remember when Letterman called Palin a slut and liberal media wanted to rape her or have a group of black men gang rape her? ( Sandra Bernhard’s lewd comments calling Palin a "whore" and a "bitch" and then warned Palin that she ought not come to NYC or "if Palin ever visited New York, she would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers.") Slut is the word used most often by rapists as they rapeSunday, June 14, 2009 at 10:11 pm — admin
