And why do Republican women seem to hate their own gender, especially House Republicans?
Only three House Republicans (none of them women) voted for final passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 (roll call vote here). Stunning, just stunning.
When the Senate passed the bill, every woman in the Senate voted for it, which makes sense. The bill ensures women cannot be discriminated against in the workplace.
How in the hell, in 2009, can anyone still support discrimination? Is this an attempt to define themselves as anti-Obama? If so, good luck. I don't see how a party can survive on this type of nonsense.

Here's what's just as sad: that in 2009--and gosh willikers, a BLACK MAN is President, Edna--we STILL have to enact laws to ensure that women are paid as much as men.
I know, we've all seen the research. And I think that by and large there are a lot of enlightened men out there (ref. above, "black man as President"), but there's clearly still more than a handful of desk jockeys who think that a banana and two clementines gives you something more than fruit salad.
We live in a time when we can make great strides against racial discrimination. Let's do the same for misogyny: SCRUB IT OUT.
And P.S. to the Congresswomen who voted against the bill: the only place a woman should be on her knees is in the bedroom, and that's only if she wants to be there. Your Sista card will be collected at the door, thank you for playing.
