That’s brilliant, and very heartwarming.

I was really happy to watch this – happy that some McCain supporters took a stand against this idiocy. Now if I can find a video of Obama supporters taking a stand against sexism… that would be a perfect day.

Why would they do that? Has the Obama campaign been inciting sexism? If they have I missed that, sorry.

Don’t even get me started in regard to the sexism of the Obama campaign and the sexism of his supporters. I don’t have the time, honestly.
But let’s just say the sexism is only coming from some of his more idiotic supporters – shouldn’t Obama (as well as nonsexist Obama supporters) stand up against this and denounce the sexism?

I’m a bit scared of feminists. I dated one once and she convinced me I was a woman hater and persuaded me to go for therapy.
I later discovered she was just mental and I was just an idiot.

Hah, that’s funny. I know, I know… Feminism isn’t very hip anymore…

I enrolled in a ‘feminisms’ course, so I could impress this bird with my sensitivity. What I remember reading was incomprehensible to humankind (women included). I hope that’s the kind of feminism that has now gone out of fashion.

That’s really funny. I hope she was impressed for at least a little bit, after all that!
As you can tell, I am very interested in women’s issues. And on more than one occasion I set out to enroll in a women’s studies program and was even considering getting a Master’s degree at one point. But each time I had this notion, I first looked over the curriculum and read the bios of the teachers (really out of excitement and NOT out of trying to find any “dirt”). I was always shocked at the lunatics they chose to study! Not to mention the divisive rhetoric of some of the teachers. Well, that’s just MHO. So I never signed up for a women’s studies course. I guess I never found the right one. Yeah, I don’t think this sort of feminism is in fashion. But the kind of feminism that thinks Michelle Malkin rape jokes are horrible for all women – that’s not really in fashion either. Feminism just isn’t taken seriously any more.

It’s cos all us poor men have women bosses that’s why. There’s only one thing worse than a crazy man boss and that’s a crazy woman boss.

“(No offense empowered women of the world)”
Not to beat a dead horse but this is very interesting. Replace “women” with any other exploited or historically exploited people. Would you still write that? Who was it that Paul linked to who was so cavalier about the term MILF for a VP candidate… Would he have been so cavalier about using another funny term for another “other”? Because political incorrectness is such a great tool and all…
Well, for your crazy she-bosses. You know the Freirian’s would just say that they learned to oppress from the oppressor;)

Even the right leaning NY Times is backing Obama:
