Lucas,
You know how sometimes Republicans forget that they aren't very good at talking about women? Well, this has been one of those weeks. They've been talking up a storm -- and it's not pretty. Just a few examples:
- Education troubles began when mothers started working.
- "Liberalized policies" encourage military sexual assault.
- "It's not sexist" for men to be dominant over women, "it's science."
- "Hormones found in nature" drive men to sexual assault.
All of it came out of the mouths of prominent Republicans. In the last week.
Here's the thing. This isn't just rhetoric. This is what the current crop of Republican elected officials actually believe. Which is why we have to get them out of the business of legislating anything.
Contribute to EMILY's List right now. We're fighting today and every day to elect the progressive women who can stop the GOP.
Does the idea of these guys writing and passing legislation keep you up at night? Me too! Let's do everything in our power to stop them.
