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.

The RNC can speak out against racism, but the DNC is SILENT ON SEXISM!Monday, December 29, 2008 at 11:57 am — M.A. Liginter
This headline just posted on CNN: “RNC Chairman Condemns Controversial Obama Song”.
NOW…COMPARE AND CONTRAST this with the DNC, who not only kept their mouths SHUT tight when Ludacris, the rapper, put out his song of misogyny that called Hillary Clinton an irrelevant Bitch... When FemiSex called the DNC Chairman to ask if racism would be equally tolerated by the DNC, we were hung up on! FemiSex has called the DNC many times on this issue, finally getting this response: NO Response. The Democrats have even utilized the women-denigrating Ludacris for political purpose So what we have here is a VAST difference. The RNC speaks out forcefully about a racist song; the DNC says not a Word about a misogynistic song, AND then openly approves of misogyny by asking the Rapper Ludacris (author of the song) to help get a Southern Democrat elected in a run-off post Nov. 4th. (Yeah, yeah, the DNC denies it has any involvement in the decision to use Ludacris, but folks we here at FemiSex live in the REAL world—the one where a call from the Chairman (Howdie Doodie Dean) would STOP ANY use of Ludacris as a get-out-the-vote tool of the party! I urge you to call the DNC today and voice complaint. Women are trapped by their desire for abortion rights into the DNC party, and, yes, sadly, we know this! We need to tell them we despise them for making women their House Negro on this issue! Here are other FemiSex articles on Ludacris, misogyny and the DNC.

You know, I voted for Obama
You know, I voted for Obama in the gen. election, but was very upset that Michele Obama didn't say anything about sexism. Ludacris was an open Obama supporter and Michele, or Obama, for that matter, whould have helped women immensely if they'd said thanks but no thanks to Ludacris after calling HRC an irrelevent bitch. Just goes to show that when sexism helps their cause, Mr. and Mrs. Barack Obama are one in their silence.
This is so heartbreaking.
This is so heartbreaking. The RNC has a golden op here, that is, they should start speaking out loudly against misogyny. Just think if Repbulican's made an issue of Obama keeping Favreau on as the dir. of speechwriting. That would be too cool for school.
