The time travel here was through three particular Republican kerfuffles yesterday that speak volumes about how the GOP's Right Wing thinks about women (and sex):<\/p>\n

– Rep. Issa's hearing on "religious freedom" in which he couldn't find (or wouldn't allow) any women to speak not only on contraception (which he kept harrumphing it wasn't about) but on, well, religious freedom.<\/p>\n

– CPAC debating over whether some of those younger conservative women who attended the conference were dressed a bit … well … slutty.<\/p>\n

– Foster Friess (really?) cracking wise that the only contraceptive women need is keeping their legs closed.<\/p>\n

I am seriously hoping this all has some major blowback in November among women (and among men, too). #ddtb<\/p>\n
