As Dan Leihgeber, a smelter in a Youngstown USA steel plant, says in today's Wall Street Journal, "People don't want to speak out against Obama because of the fear of being seen as racist. It's easier to say you want to keep a woman barefoot and pregnant....You can call a woman anything."
As Yoko Ono rightly said, "Woman is the nigger of the world".
Seems to me not much has changed - So wee men can be more, she must be less. Just what is it with us men? I don't know but I confess, the thought of millions of white American men struggling to choose between sexism and racism is prime time funny and full time tragic - but don't laugh too hard, it's a choice few countries are advanced enough to have to make. Still it makes the gut quiver and the bowels shake.
