I get it and you seem not to. When a woman has to defend her rights under constant attack like abortion. Like birth control that has reared it's head into the debate since Palin decide to make an issue of abstinence only. It doesn't matter if these tings will ever go away or not. It is the constant assault. Abortion was re-legalized in the US in 1973. Here it is 2012 and the argument still rages.You get it....but you don't.
I'm pretty liberal when it comes to speech. I don't LIKE hearing most women called sluts, but I'm not going to demand women sue or demand the man be fired simply because of what he said.
I have never said that women are under attack on all fronts. We are under attack in the area of reproductive rights.
I don't think every women needs to sue someone who calls her a slut. But when people just pass it off like popcorn in a theater it's vile. It used to be like the N word which my father used regularly. We don't need to be subjected to that.
