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.

 This is just too too to ignore: Andrew Sullivan has not only diminished the patina of The Atlantic, but shown himself to be rabid in his hatred of women. FemiSex put a DeathWatch on Sullivan during the primaries, in the vein of Slate's HRC Deathwatch count down. Maybe with each moronic column Sullivan writes (see below) women such as Hillary and Palin will be safe from Sullivan's misogyny in any coming elections. Dear Santa: please FIRE SULLIVAN from public discourse. Sullivan's latest is so sloppy it might just get him laughed out of town! Read and enjoy: excerpt from Wapo by Charles Krauthammer:
