Woman used to sublimate their needs and work through religious institutions for what was

Last edited Sat Mar 17, 2012, 11:59 PM USA/ET - Edit history (6)

important to them. Then, the women's movement began gaining steam in the middle part of the 20th Century. The new generation of women didn't necessarily look to the church for guidance once they were free to live life as they wanted. That is why we see this GOP attack on women. If they take women's rights away they will seek solace in the church again. Then the GOP can control women through that hierarchy once more. I would assume if they are trying to break women down they actually do want women to feel brutalized and beaten back by all of these proposed laws. The media is the message. If you are continually attacked you cannot help but keep your head down. Sandra Fluke was meant to be made example of. Women have reacted in anger so far, which is good: to fight for our rights. Be warned not to get sad, lower your head and accept this new attack on women as a permanent reality. It must be stopped and turned back to a time when women's rights & issues were not fodder to feed powerlust in GOP men.

1. Abolutely. Sandra Fluke needs to keep her foot on the pedal.

The Roman (Bishops and Cardinals) and Evangelical filth are attempting to subvert a free nation, replacing the Constitution with their ignorant religious dogma.

2. IMO they hate women because they repress what is feminine in themselves.

3. What concrete things can women do to ensure this harassment

doesn't happen again? Letters, petitions, and boycotts don't seem to be working. It's difficult to maintain one's optimism.

4. I don't think this attack makes women sad. I think it fires them up and makes them really, really

angry. I also think that it makes women vote against the GOP, even if they have supported them in the past.

9. Sometimes, with the GOP coming at you with all their ****, you stop and feel sad for your country

and accept that there has been a loss/change for the worse. Women need to fight this trend of women's rights being attacked. It is unacceptable.

8. Tell everyone that

you don't want to live under Catholic Shiara Law. A few months ago, that would have brought a how-dare-you-compare response. Today, not so much.

12. True - I've been mentioning the "American Taliban" everywhere and...

...nobody raises an eyebrow anymore - seems people are waking up.
