Show up at the lecture?
As a man, I happily second that emotion.
They do have some serious catfights though...usually over jealousy or hints of infidelity. They like me more than my wife oddly. I think Sapphos find beautiful hetero gals that are also mommies threatening in a way. The reverse is true with homo-guys.....they absolutely love the company of beautiful gals. Dykey Lesbos on the other hand don't care for us third leggers at all...in my experience.
Needless to say I don't discuss politics with any of them. I was banned from an artsy fartsy Christmas party here in Nashville which usually has a fair number of gays in attendance because I'm viewed as a right wing gun freak.
Oh well. Gays are a weird study you know....I even know a few...one does my wife's "highlights" for her hair...and he's a staunch Pubbie.
Thanks. I needed a sign idea.
Ahem, isn't that how they have always supported clintoon?
...he explained.

These are Oxford-style debates. First, the proposition is put to the four parties (Party of the Right, Tories, Party of the Left, and Socialists). Each party takes its position in caucus and appoints its two debaters. Usually the parties split two and two. (Only when Wiliam F. Buckley was invited on the subject of defending Quemoy and Matsy, did the parties split 1-3, to my knowledge.)
To conduct the debate, the proposition is put to the Union, the keynote speach is given. Then the debaters present and rebut. Then the Union votes on the proposition. (I had the honor on a few occasiions of being the rebuttal debater for the Tories, then known as the Conservatives.)
Anyway, this is my educated guess of the context of this speech which the post does not state.

How very non-feminist of you.
When a man has sex with a woman, IT'S ALWAYS RAPE!!!
Yeah, right. Real women like sex.
Therefore, the discussion above is on point. This is for an Oxford-style debate before the Union on Monday night, These may be open to the press (who are seldom interested in such matters), but are not open to the public.

Isn't right-wing lesbian a contradiction in terms? There are a fair number of right-wing gay guys, especially among libertarians.
My daughter is a loving, smart cookie. She will achieve her goals in life because she loves and respects herself. She is learning to love men from an example set by her female role models in her family and church. I don’t want her to get anything in life, because she kicked a man in the nuts physically or verbally.
Sorry if I’m being vulgar, but this is something I feel very strongly about. I want my children to respect HUMAN BEINGS because they ARE humans. Not respect or disrespect someone because of their skin color, sex, religion, etc. I want her to have an appropriate pride in being female and the gifts that come from being feminine. That pride will not come from degrading men.
Well said.
Most rainbow decaled lesbos I've seen are serious lefties.
In truth ..other than here on FR I rarely come in contact with anyone as right wing as myself...and I know plenty of Republican voters. The culture war issues are what really defines most folks and myself. I'm paleo on culture issues.
