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.

Senator Leahy's Distain for Alpha Women: Leahy tells Hillary: GET OUT!; tells Gillibrand, SHUT UP!Tuesday, July 14, 2009 at 11:57 am — admin
 Remember Senator Leahy—yeah that one, the one who told Hillary Clinton to shut the hell up and get out of the race for POTUS way back in March of 08! Well Old Boy Leahy is at it again, barely able to conceal his distain for a woman, a woman for God’s sake who has extended her speaking time by seconds. Watch this video as Leahy huffs and puffs over Gillibrand’s request to finish her sentence! His distain for her is SO apparent. Just as his distain for Hillary was SO apparent. Leahy likes women who work under him, not OVER him. That is the way the light and the truth for Leahy! I hear that Good Old Boy Leahy is running again in Vermont. OH my, is it Past Midnight for a woman from Vermont to kick Leahy’s sexist can to the Curb! I am very pleased to see the Old Boy's Club breaking up--Ted Kennedy on his way out, Tom Daschle gone. Now, we need to tank out Kerry, Leahy, and Carl Levin--all men who viciously oppose alpha women! http://thenewagenda.net/2009/07/14/sen-leahy-interrupts-sen-gillibrand-s... |

Leahy to women: DROP DEAD!
LOL! Leahy is like so many "liberals", he want to rescue helpless females, but hates powerful women who get to uppity and forget their place. As long as women are below Leahy in power and status he is just fine with women. I love this site! Keep those elbows sharp and focused!

Puma Pac has a cartoon up from the Daily News with Gillibrand's mouth a wide a Grand Canyon.
Want to bet we don't see Franken being parodied as a loudmouth comic attention seeker. Men can women should shut up.
Sen Leahy must be afraid of
Sen Leahy must be afraid of Gillibrand to cut her off in the middle of a sentence. This is one very able and smart women, who will make a run for it, I am sure. And that, no doubt has Leahy wetting his depends!
(I normally wouldn't do ageism, but he is so clearly a sexist, it seems appropriate!)
get out! shut up! u really
get out! shut up! u really have his # !
with 17% female rep in Congress, if Leahy loves women so much how about stepping down so one can take his place in the Senate. come on Vermont, don't you have a woman to challenge that old cat in his cat bird seat?
It is comical, we have a
It is comical, we have a comic who is carefully listened to and respected as he goes on about himself (Franken) and how great it is that he lacks a law degree, and the newbie senator who is a woman is distained for going over my a few moments.
I say Hilllary in 2012. Gillibrand as her running mate! Obama can go back to Chicago and write another self-congratulatory book!
Leahy is, how did Obama put it??? Oh yes, an old fish, stinky and smelly in his dotage.
There was no need to show
There was no need to show such disrespect to Gillibrand. No one admits to being a racist and Leahy won't admit to being a sexist. But like my momma always said, "Judge em by what the does, not what the says."
Leahy will say he is not a sexist, but a pattern is emerging here.
