Why? Are you still a male chauvinist pig? I hope not? I thought repuke neoCONs have stuck just on racism and bigotry alone and had moved past just treating women as just sex objects unable to do anything else. Or am I wrong and male repukes remain chauvinist pigs in addition of being racist and bigots. Thanks for clearing up that for me.
