I meant to say that it is not JUST a women’s issue.

I think that men frequently hide behind things being a “women’s issue” and thus not in their realm.

And, I want to make sure that we understand this is a human issue.

Violence against women is a women’s issue AND a human issue.

I recently wrote a blog post about this very issue:

The Military, The War, and Violence Against Women

If I had a daughter, I wouldn’t let her within 100 feet of a military recruiting station. Of course, I probably wouldn’t let my son within 100 feet either.

Violence against women is not a women’s issue. It is a human issue. Men must make a strong stance against these abhorrent crimes. It is a disgrace.

My 3 daughters have been harassed at work, in college…

I’m in this chair because of JFK/LBJ….

I listened and enlisted to save the world from communism….

I find it amazing that you have some of whatever is required to make your point in all situations……when the thread is about harrassement of women you have daughers, when you don’t want to answer hard questions you are suddenly a disabled war veteran.

Convenient and unverifiable cries for pity only make you look more pathetic.

Just the fact that you would play such a card tells me that you would do anything or say anything. If you were really in a wheelchair you would never have used it in this way.

You dishonor legitimate veterans with disablilities. You have earned my disgust with this abuse of your freedom of speech.

I have read your posts in the past and have no reason to believe anything you say and I find your behavior in this thread to be something akin to criminal behavior…..

people who’s minds work like yours will bilk old folks out of their meager savings. You are the slime on the bottom of pond scum.

As to your whining abourt JFK/LBJ and Vietnam, first off, we, (the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, note the spelling asswipe, ran LBJ out of office because of his war mongering. What are republicans doing and bush? And speaking of bush, if you’re so against people in power lying us into wars, why do you support bush? And if you really fought in Vietnam, and got injured, why do you support a deserter who elbowed his way to the front of the line at the national guard office, which bumped someone else at the end of the line into Vietnam? And why do you support a party that routinely smears veterans when it suits their purpose? Veterans like McCrazy and Kerry and Gore, not to mention what they did Max Cleland a severely wounded Vietnam vet. Lastly, more US soldiers died under Nixon’s rule than LBJ and JFK combined.

Who do you think you’re kidding? You’re so hateful and bitter, you can’t even stand yourself.

Hey, I’m sorry you’re in a wheelchair. That war was wrong, and this war is wrong.

Are you out there protesting the war? F_ck no. That might be frickin’ useful.

Give it a rest.

Zooey, I’m in this chair because of JFK/LBJ.

What the hell are you talking about?

Nothing, of course. My bet is that his post is a fraud.

Our troll “Gin” probably thought it was funny and clever to pretend being concerned, while taking a swipe at the D’s who have been caught in some sex scandal; conflating marital infidelity with actual sexual harassment.

Twits like him cannot tell the difference between consenting adults having sex, and a woman being preyed upon by a sexual predator.

I’m surprised that only 1/3 reported abuse. My 3 daughters have been harassed at work, in college, at clubs and just about anywhere they go. All three feel the need to carry pepper spray and 2 of them have cc permits and carry 38’s. This isn’t a military problem. this is a predatory problem. Just look at the men in the news who feel they have the right to abuse or otherwise take advantage of women. Clinton, Spitzer, Hart, the Kennedy brothers just to name a few. Some how they all feel an entitlement to their animal instincts.

Then you must be totally furious about what’s happening to the women serving this country.

What are you willing to do to help?
