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.

A Chicken comes home to Roost; Rep. Bobby Rush cries Lynch and the Media gave him the perfect right to do so.Tuesday, December 30, 2008 at 8:36 pm — admin
FemiSex found it appalling that the press threatened the electorate with charges of racism if the electorate failed to vote Obama. Time and again major media outlets screamed loudly that if Obama was not elected then racism was the only reason, period. Now, today I find it hysterical that a Democratic black congressman --Bobby Rush of Illinois-- got up in front of all the mics and said if Congress doesn’t accept Gov. Blagojevich’s appointment of Attorney General Roland Burris, who is black, to fill Obama’s senate seat then….well that was tantamount to a lynching. Yes, it is absurd, but…the Press gave Mr. Bobby Rush the perfect right to make that absurdity. And anyone who says otherwise had better shut up! link to news of Blago's Senate seat appointment: |

Great catch! I voted for
Great catch! I voted for Obama, but was horrified that the media got on the racist if you don't vote Obama kick. Now, of course Obama is going to sit on the sidelines this, but the press has tied themselves in knots on this!
Media got out of control this election and if not for the econ meltdown, I might have voted McCain in protest.
Seems Blago fired one across
Seems Blago fired one across Obama's bow. Be interesting to see what develops.
