While I do think that women absolutely can be sexist towards men (mothers insisting that male infants are circumcised, violating their right to only have cosmetic surgery with their consent, yet advocate against female-genital-mutilation, etc.), I do most cerainly believe that women have long since the begining of patriarchy been the opressed. Not only would sending our troops home press for health care, it would also reduce the WOMEN not mentioned in our military that are suffering a gastly rape epidemic. Speaking the truth about how our government doesn’t care about the evils imposed on women and their families is NOT sexist, it is merely a truth that is to hard for people to bear… when it is aimed directly at them.

Kevin, have you read any of the polls lately, PEOPLE WANT HEALTHCARE REFORM. It’s time to stop the insurance companies robbing us blind with premiums we can barely afford and then refuse to provide care.

Kevin, generalizations like yours are very, very wrong. Many of my students have no insurance, no way to get vaccines, no care if they get sick. Most of their parents are the working poor; people who want to work but are underemployed.

Kevin, posts like yours make YOU sound ignorant. A great many of us still believe that health care reform is important and necessary. It is not a “takeover of the healthcare industry”, as you put it. Rather, an effort to help over 30 million uninsured Americans and reign in costs.

Get it through your thick skull: men, women, children….NOBODY WITH AN OUNCE OF INTELLGIENCE WANTS OBAMACARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has nothing to do with men or women and everything to do with avoiding the government takeover of our healthcare industry.

Do I have to say it a third time, or are you ignoramuses pretty clear on it now?

Sexist-schmexist!! Women are the oppressed gender in sexism, so by definition, calling her sexist is ridiculous. That aside, Shea-Porter makes a valid point. She’s not a DC insider, she’s a NH woman, mother, daughter, and she’s far more in tune with what those of us living a day-to-day life in NH than anyone I can think of. It’s time for congress to freakin’ work together, and not go all wah-baby over finding an appropriate health care solution. Momentarily, they’re complaining about her so-called sexist remarks…that’s OK because they’ll soon just return to doing exactly what she’s called them out for in the first place.

gah!
