The Democrats war on women

Giving women the right to vote, run for office and have control over their own bodies was such a horrible idea.......right.
i reread my post and couldn't find ONE reference to Woman's Suffrage.
You seem to be making the assumption that all women support their political exploitation by the Feminist Movement... which trivializes their political role to that of a monolithic 'victim'.. of men.
Think on it. Something to do with lack of respect for women and lack of respect for one's marriage vows to them.
I don't see the connection between these men's wives and women as a whole, nor do I see the integrity of marriage vows as a women's rights issue.
Now, now, little lady, everybody knows that deep down inside, y'all just want a good man to cook and clean for. One who'll be true and not go chasing after floozies, but come home every night to the nice cozy home you keep for him.
It's OK, you can admit it.
You seem to be under the assumption that anyone not supporting the feminist agenda, is therefore in support of moving the rights of women backward in terms of freedom to seek employment, make health care choices, and form family units as they see fit.
Which was my interpretation of his post.
There are plenty of women who like the idea of being a housewives and take care of the kids all the time while the father works. Nothing wrong with that or the nuclear family. The only thing that has really changed is now its a choice rather than something imposed on people. Feminists do not take away or pose a threat to those who want such an arrangement.
Number of Filthy Filner Victims Hits 11, Sexually Harassed Woman Seeking Help For Wounded Iraq War Vet…
What a scumbag.

San Diego mayor Bob Filner now has an eleventh accuser — a woman who alleges he sexually harassed her when she went to ask him to aid a Marine who’d endured a brain injury and post-traumatic-stress disorder during her service in Iraq.
CBS 8 reports that Michelle Tyler, a licensed vocational nurse, accused Filner of harassing her in the mayor’s office on June 11, about a month before the mayor’s former communications director filed a lawsuit accusing the mayor of harassment and making his behavior public.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing Filner’s original accuser too, explained that the nurse had originally gone to Filner when he was a congressman seeking help for for Katherine Ragazzino, the Marine, who was ensnared in some Veterans Administration red tape.
Allred said that when Tyler returned along with Ragazzino in mid June to ask the now-mayor for help, the mayor appeared willing to help “but at a price.”
“In other words, Mayor Filner wanted Ms. Tyler to help him fulfill his sexual needs if she wanted his help for a deserving war veteran,” Allred said.

Contrast that with all the quotes about rape made by Republicans in which they dismissed this abhorrent act as a mere trifle. It cost them a few elections in the past and will be remembered.
Feminists paved the way for choice, but don't mistake me, feminists DO actually pose a 'threat' to that in a way. I've had to justify myself over, and over, and over again, for being a stay at home mom, especially to the women who consider themselves feminists. They get visibly irate over the fact that it is my job to ensure my man has clean clothes, meals on the table, and a healthy family.
It's funny how people sometimes praise stay at home dads for being progressive and such but not so much for stay at home moms. There is a double standard and it is not a problem with feminism but patriarchy. The problem is that men are not expected to give up their careers to look after their children full time. If they don't do that no one is going to blame them, but when they do it's considered a sacrifice above and beyond the normal duties of a man. Women are trapped between the expectations of their liberation and the lingering patriarchy. They are expected to have both careers and take care of their children (and even their husbands). Normal people would find simultaneously doing both an impossible task to do adequately, and sacrificing one for the other leads to certain members of society looking down on you.
The personal bad habits of individuals in positions of power (political, economic, legal, academic, physical power - at all levels from president to foreman of a sweat-shop to soldier on a raid) are not the same as the legislative actions of a party in power.
Rotten people do various rotten things, regardless of their political affiliation, and they victimize or involve other individuals. Those rotten acts can be addressed and perhaps redressed, individually (from jail terms to civil lawsuits to public derision) .
When a party in power enacts legislation that affects millions of people, and there is no recourse short of overthrowing that entrenched power structure - that's a little a bigger and harder to fix.

Not so sure about that because there was a discussion locally about a year ago on the subject. A stay at home dad was praised not because he stayed there but because his wife made so much money that he could afford to stay home. Thus, it wasn't so much that the man was praised. But that feminism was praised as the cause of such a situation.
As we know it was Democrats who pushed for the feminist agenda, not Republicans. This belies the unsupported myth that Dems have some war on women.
Well, wasn't that a choice, Karrie? Last I heard, a decent marriage doesn't farewell if one side is a mouse and the other is a tyrant. Around here, we both work, so we divy stuff up.
It'd be nice if people didn't judge all feminists to be wannabe tyrants, but people are either/or these days it seems. Nothing in the middle.
