There isn't a war on women, there's a war on men and

if there is a war on women it's actually being waged by the evil liberals.

Yep, this is the repuke pushback that's now.... everywhere. Orwellian? Sure. Futile? I hope so.

I've been checking it out across the intertubes. One thing you got to say for the creeps, they sure are adherents to the big lie theory of lying.

America’s Real War on Women
Some men think they can get away with vulgarity because they’re on the ‘correct’ side on social issues; others tire of being bullied by the language police.

The Wall Street Journal: March 17, 2012

There is a war against women. It is something comparatively new in our national life, and we have to start noticing it.

It is not a "Republican war on women." It has nothing to do with White House attempts to paint conservative efforts to protect religious liberty as a war against women's rights to contraceptives. That is a mischievous fiction, and the president's polls this week suggest it isn't working. Good.

The Fiction of a Republican War on Women



It’s not as though they haven’t tried this before. Whenever Democrats have trouble riling up voters about their agenda – as they are now – they quickly revert to their tried and true playbook. Specifically, page 138: “Drive a wedge between women and men. Women tend to vote liberal; if you can alienate them from men, they vote even more liberal.” It comes right after the rule on page 137: “Use scare tactics about Social Security to get the votes of seniors.”

There’s only one problem: the scare about women isn’t going to work.

but you absolutely have to be batshit fucking insane to believe anyone who says the war on women isn't in full swing right now. It's as if the United States is at war with Gilead.

And... Obama's war on women???

To make them act like its 1950 again. Sorry but my brother and my husband don't want to go back in time either.
