Feminist Fuck You John McCain
7/12/2008 05:50:00 PM McCain "forgets" that he that he voted against requiring insurance companies to cover birth control for women. He doesn't know enough about the issue to discuss it on camera, but he knew enough about it to vote on it? Jackass. Ann's response: Of course, while Obama's been making appearances with Hillary Clinton, making statements like, "...let's be clear: these issues - equal pay, work/family balance, childcare - these are by no means just women's issues. When a job doesn't offer family leave, that also hurts men who want to help care for a new baby or an ailing parent. When there's no affordable childcare or afterschool programs, that hurts children who wind up in second rate care, or spending afternoons alone in front of the TV. When women still make just 77 cents for every dollar men make - black and Latina women even less - that doesn't just hurt women, it hurts families who find themselves with less income, and have to work even harder just to get by. " McCain is also trying to woo the female voters--despite his support for companies' decisions to discriminate against women and people of color, his deeply anti-choice views, and his occassional wife-beating joke. |
