TN Dem attacks female Republicans: “You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women.”
Michele Malkin ^ | Monday June 14, 2010

When liberals can’t handle GOP women, they infantilize, sexualize, demonize, and dehumanize them. I diagnosed the Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse a few years ago. Here’s how I described the 4th Stage:

…the final stage of CFA is dehumanization. Conservative women aren’t real women according to the liberal feminist establishment’s definition. Remember when Gloria Steinem called Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison a “female impersonator?” Or when curdled NOW leader Patricia Ireland instructed Democrats to vote only for “authentic” female political candidates? Or when Al Gore’s fashion consultant Naomi Wolf described the foreign-policy analysis of Jeane Kirkpatrick as being “uninflected by the experiences of the female body?”

We can now add Tennessee State Democrat legislator Janis Baird Son­tany of Nashville to the roster of abusers. Here’s what she said about her GOP opponents at a Democrat Party breakfast over the weekend:

State Republican Chairman Chris Devaney today denounced as “petty and insulting” a Democratic legislator’s statement about her Republican women colleagues.

“You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote,” said Rep. Janis Baird Sontany, D-Nashville.

The remark at a Saturday Democratic breakfast was initially reported by blogger Dru Smith Fuller. Sontany acknowledged the statement when asked and described it as “a glib, off-the-cuff remark” that “was inappropriate on my part.”

Does anyone really want to pull up a democrat woman’s skirt?

It would depend, which way the wind was blowing.

Probably should take out Laura Bush.

She is no longer a Republican given her stances on many issues including Abortion, Gay Marriage, and Obamacare, at the minimum

And even if one were brave enough to lift a Democrat male's skirt, you still would have to look long and hard for any evidence of their manhood.

>>> When liberals can’t handle GOP women, they infantilize, sexualize, demonize, and dehumanize them.

Just the other side of the coin for most of the Helen Thomas/Whoopi Goldberg/Mo Dowd etc attack posts. It’s ugly and ignorant when they do it, it’s ugly and ignorant when we do it too. And we do it way too much.

Does anyone really want to pull up a democrat woman’s skirt? For the most part, I think you would be struck dead.

Or a least get a gnat in your eye!

At first glance, I thought what a sexist, insulting remark by another ‘enlightened’ dem man, ugh, and then I read on realized a woman (who joined a slew of other womyn on the left in her insult to other women) had made this comment. Words fail me...
