I don't think women are offended by it because of any implications about their own sexuality. I think they're offended because Kerry callously invaded the privacy of another person, and put words in that person's mouth about what they would think. Who wouldn't be offended by that?

That's true too - we have a right to judge however we want, and he shouldn't tell us otherwise.

In the context of the culture war, I'd stand by my point that women are more ashamed of sex in general (straight or not). The real battle is that we prefer to keep those matters private and live with our own shame ("we are all sinners..."), while liberals want sex sex sex everywhere - they even have a name for it, the "Pride" movement.

That is exactly what offended me. Plus using the daughter of his opponent, instead of someone from his own party.

Additionally he never answered the question.....which was what HE thought........not what he believes someone else thinks.

Kerry publicly inserted himself into the relationship between Cheney and his daughter, claiming a better understanding of the daughter than Cheney. And he did this for political advantage. I think most women would instinctively resent that, would resent an outsider sticking his nose into your relationship with one of your children.
