"War on Women" seems to be the popular buzz phrase lately. Do you believe there is a war against women in this country right now?
 
Hell no, you women have us men around your little finger... There is actually a war on men.
 
I say no.

A real war on women can be seen in countries where women aren't allowed to show their hair or drive a car.
 
it's political rhetoric/hyperbole.... there is no war on women.

the people who use the term are engaging in propaganda meant to manipulate you into choosing their side in the struggle over policy.

There's a war on everything in this country, why should women be left out?
 
No, but don't tell that to feminists, without something to be falsely outraged or terrified about their days would seem empty and unfulfilling.
 
there is no war on women.its a fake wedge issue created and backed by both sides to get everyone at eachothers throats so politicians cant be challenged on real issues.
 
Yes there is, if you take into consideration views & comments by both leading republican cadidates, Santorum and Romney. Not to mention, recent legislative fights over reproductive/women's health issues across the country and in DC.
 
Eh, there's definitely a patriarchal attack on women's health issues including abortion and female contraception coming from the right. You could call that a "war on women", but I'd just, again, call it "a patriarchal attack on women's health issues including abortion and female contraception coming from the right."

You could also call abortion to be an actual war on both sexes since abortion is the legal annihilation of both males and females.

People are actually saying such a thing?


Really?


Gawd no, there's no 'war on women' in America. Women are pretty much on top these days.

thats not a war on women,again both sides try to kill eachother on an issue that can never gain a full majority,its a giant wedge issue to keep people hating and ignoring the economy and corruption from both sides.

there is barely a struggle ( if you can even call it that) over contraception( beyond the dustup with Limbaugh, it's barely even an issue ... abortion, however.. yeah, there is a struggle over that.
insofar as women are the only beings that can abort babies, i guess you can say there is an attack on them over that.. but it's not really a war on women... just a war on the choice to abort.

every time someone strikes out to change the behavior of someone else, there is sure to be a "war on <insert anything>" label thrown on it... and it's generally bull****

You could, but that doesn't have any effect on the fact that there is, in fact, a patriarchal attack on women's health issues including abortion and female contraception coming from the right. And that attack could be considered a "war on women" which is the topic of the thread.

I see what you did there...

Like I said, I wouldn't call it a war on women, but there are patriarchal attacks on women's reproductive rights. There's definitely a struggle over abortion as you said. However, there is also a definite attack on female contraception. All you have to do is listen to Rick Santorum to know that.
 
Hell I love women. I would never want to fight them.........:)
 
No, but don't tell that to feminists, without something to be falsely outraged or terrified about their days would seem empty and unfulfilling.
What a small-minded comment.

It's an argument about public funding for contraceptives, not the private use of said products. No one that I know of is attempting to legally restrict the use of contraceptives.
 
I don't feel at all warred against.
 
This term is utter tripe. American men are dying in a real war on the other side of the world, while American women enjoy rights and a standard of living that most people in the world would only dream of.
 
There is a war on women and men in this country. They are being murdered by the millions in death mills across the country. Groups like NOW and Planned Parenthood have blood on there hands.

Over charged hyper partisan rhetoric for 1000 Alex...
