Doesn't mean I think boorish behavior should be excused under the heading "boys will be boys".

Well I think in the name of intellectually honesty, the fact that you have a long posting history of coming on the Rush Radio Program daily thread and posting Rush hater posts should be pointed out. I suspect this expression of angst here has more to do with your personal dislike , frequently demonstrated, for Rush Limbaugh.

I'd really like to teach a course as to what feminism was supposed to be about and how it's now dysfunctional. Before the right to vote, women owned and ran businesses. They argued to have the right to vote and the right to own their own property when married. And they would take care of themselves.

This would have Miss Plame taking care of herself and if she had an issue, it would be up to her to let Rush know if this was a problem.

If he started describing body parts, I could see how a listener would have a problem, but there are two options: turn the radio off; and/or send an email letting Rush know he behaved inappropriately. He would take any reasonable comment to heart.

This perspective of personal responsibility is the complete inversion of what happened in the 20th century. Women who couldn't get along with others sought to control the lives and minds of other women. They assumed men were jerks. They assumed that successful men were bigger jerks. They assumed that if women were jerks, they would be successful too.

They assumed that men would hold women back and that no woman would be smart enough to make her way.

They assumed that government enforced affirmative action would help, not harm. But it undermines men, it undermines women and now individual women have to come up to the plate to work to undo the damage in order to be able to build teams and succeed in the workplace.

Hey, I have posted on the Rush thread maybe five or six times in total. Please, I am begging you, don't get on here and LIE. A "long" posting history....this is a lie, people.

Now I did post about Rush's Viagara thing once back when it happened. I really like to poke fun at him about this. What, Rush can poke fun at everyone else and no one can at him? Viagara is another medicine I think it abused just like so many prescription drugs.

I LOVE Rush Limbaugh. I've always taken exception to how he talks about women although I take no exception to his "feminazis" tag. He routinely calls women "babes" and other terms that, why the hell can't I say it, terms that offend me. Why can't I be offended like everyone else in this country? Which isn't to say that Rush should change because I am offended. It also isn't to say I can't continue to be offended and talk about it. To make up LIES about people is a very bad thing to do.

I am going back and cull all my posts on the Rush Limbaugh thread because I do NOT "routinely" post bad things about Rush. And I do not like the way he talks about women. I'm not backing down.

My name ain't George Dubya.....I DEFEND MYSELF. I always liked you MN even though we locks horns from time to time. Now I know how low you can go I have lost all respect for you.
