I agree wholeheartedly that women should be treated with respect, BUT:

1) In a world with ISIS torturing and beheading people, Iran hoping to gain the ability to vaporize "infidels", our nation's identity and solvency hanging by a thread, and innocent babies being callously killed and their body parts sold off to the highest bidder, is this nonsense really what we should be wasting our time discussing?

2) We have been lectured for years about "strong women", and how women can do anything that men can do and should not be treated differently. So, are women capable of being anything a man can be, up to and including a trained killer in the military, or are they delicate, fragile little flowers that must be shielded from even a mere insensitive remark lest they wilt in response? Which is it? I'm tired of (usually, but not always liberal) women trying to have it both ways - wanting to be considered no different than a man, yet trying to use their femininity as a shield to deflect criticism or harshness when it suits them.

Yep, and I never said a word about that.

Meagan Kelly may be a liberal. She may be a GOPe operative. She may be an idiot. She may be reprehensible on every level.

But read my last paragraph. Any of the things mentioned above said about my mother, wife, etc. No problem everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Call one of those women in my life a bimbo, and be within reach,and find out what happens.

I don’t care if women want to be strong, want to scrap with the boys, want to be equal to men, that doesn’t diminish my DUTY as a gentleman to defend a woman’s honor if it’s besmirched.

I understand perfectly why some “think” it’s ok to go down this road, but I for one won’t tolerate it.

I thought we were better people than the garbage over at DU.
