To Republicans..."women" are "mothers thyat need protection" and zygote found in their utirus is an "innocent baby"..Untilo a baby is born, thenh the mother is a crack whore, and the child a welfare bastard.
Right wing evangalists go to churches where women are bound to 'Submit" to men, and are by devine scripture, unqualified to teach or lead
The Republican party has opposed legislation for female equality, dating back 50 years and more (Do you really need examples?)
You are not going to deny any of this are you ?
I not only think your position is dead wrong, I think your approach is so counterproductive. It's like calling black Republicans "Uncle Toms."
Funny you should say that, because in most cases, black republicans are Uncle Toms (Tokens, self loathing sell outs, etc)
Do you know some Republican women? Have you spoken to any? Asked them why they're Republicans?

I do...and I have.
What I get is a bizarre combination of ersatz socio non secular puritan blither, quasi contentment to “let the man lead”, claims that they DO have a position of leadership in their household (They picked out the china pattern) and flat out admissions that they know they are subjugated, but that the feel “protected and safe’ by the social contract (Totally pathetic)
To be honest, I don’t associate outside of work or certain social obligations with Right wingers. I find them offensive and repugnant. (That blood on their hands is really a distraction) I have however, struck up conversations just to Get a glimpse inside their head, and to occasionally pose as “one of them” so they share their private agenda. It is dubiously fascinating.
I have standards, and dumbing myself down to appease the ignorant and self loathing does not make the cut
