I think it's a lack of awareness, not self-loathing.

I would bet a lot of money you are not informed on many of the ways the laws work against women. Just learned about one yesterday from a friend, that took even me by surprise.

Once people become educated (including male Republicans) they generally think twice about any issue that's brought up that has some really bad consequences, rather than using a one-line slogan ("self-loathing") to invalidate a point like you did. It's better to explore points, than invalidate them.

Consider, there are many unintentional consequences with laws, and even more importantly there are many unintentional consequences when people lack an awareness and thus do not establish laws for the future.

Regards,
Amy J

"Same old crap. Women and minorities who don't vote Democrat must be suffering from a case of "self-loathing."

Dems are a poor second choice for women who really want to grab the power that should be theirs. There are MORE women voters than men. But to vote for Repugnicans is to vote for continued marginalization. Some sects of Repugnicans really DO want to keep women barefoot and pregnant.
