Rejoice, womb warriors! The train of misguided, misinformed, rich, old male politicians rolls on, this time adding a Rand Paul performance to the Huckabee Parade of Bullshittery. Rand Paul knows two successful women, so the war on women is over:
This whole sort of war on women thing, Iâm scratching my head because if there was a war on women, I think they won. You know, the women in my family are incredibly successful. I have a niece at Cornell vet school, and 85% of the young people there are women. In law school, 60% are women; in med school, 55%. My younger sisterâs an ob-gyn with six kids and doing great. You know, I donât see so much that women are downtrodden; I see women rising up and doing great things. And, in fact, I worry about our young men sometimes because I think the women really are out-competing the men in our world.
This new Republican approach to feminism is sort of ingenious in a Kaiser Soze sort of wayâinstead of working to address the myriad ways they're working to keep women oppressed, including but not limited to their own party's disgusting views on rape, they're just trying to persuade women into thinking everything is totally cool. See, those two privileged ladies have rights, so quit yer bitchin'! When in doubt, use deflection.
