Vettebigot, because it fits his narrative.

It's true, there is an infantilization of women.. as demonstrated by this op-ed... seems who ever wrote this thinks women should be treated as infants.. being told what is right and wrong and having thier decisions made for them

Singer Beyonce and Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg added a new word to that list in March — “bossy.” Suddenly women were told they were being marginalized if they were called bossy, even though some men are called far worse (far too colorful to mention here).

dear dumbass... if a guy is called agressive at work..it's a compliment... if a woman is called agressive at work...it's an insult...this is what she complains about... the standard in which men are celebrated for a trait in the workplace and women are denigrated for it

This need to protect women from even reading or hearing about the ills of society has become so pervasive that some colleges are including “trigger warnings” on class syllabi to caution students that they might be offended or feel uncomfortable about some of the subject matter.

And of course none of these triggers is actually mentioned.. because then the op-ed writer would have to fess up to many of them being offensive

Even more detrimental to women than telling them words can hurt is the recent feminist trend of giving them mixed signals about sexuality. Modern feminists are arguing that it is "slut-shaming" to suggest that women should avoid drunken sex, but they also are pushing colleges to adopt a definition of rape in which women under the heavy influence of alcohol cannot give consent.

Are yuo fucking kidding me?

If a person is under the influence they cannot give consent.

that is the law. It applies for men and women.

are you suggesting rape victims have it coming if they drink

what a piece of shit.. and you wonder why the GOP can't connect to women

There are even bills in Congress codifying the new belief that women are delicate flowers who need help to succeed in this terrible, terrible country. These include equal-pay bills that don’t actually reduce the mythical wage gap but do serve to tell women they need help to become equal to menfolk; campus sex assault bills that tell women they can’t handle alcohol and that if they regret a drunken hookup they have been raped; and a slew of abortion bills claiming the procedure is about “women’s health.”

right.. because earning the same pay for the same job is... mythical



that all rape on campus is just drunken hookups


and also, on this planet.. somehow, magically.. abortion has nothing to do with a woman's health


this entire op-ed is insulting to women

Well, of course there's no bright line there, it's a continuum running from sober to buzzed to tipsy to drunk to wasted to passed-out.
