You know, I think there's some truth to this, if the utterly unspeakable filth now being thrown at Sarah Palin is any indication.
Non-leftist ladies seem, by their mere existence, by their daring to think for themselves, to be a provocation to the entrenched, deep Left. The nutty extremists get ALL bent out of shape. It would be almost amusing if their behavior weren't so unbelievably nasty and, really, unfit for polite, civilized company of any kind. If deranged hatred is a mind-altering substance, then some of these nuts are on a complete bender.
Now, rude sexism from the Left? A personal digression, perhaps. You'll remember that a leftist wingnut (who happened to be a white male, BTW) called me a "Republican oppressor" a while back, too. The trigger was me telling him that I was responsible for my own success. Ooooo, that was like poking him in the tail with an electric cattle prod! Hm, I think I shall wear my "oppressor" status as a badge of honor since "success = evil" for people like him.
Then later another white male leftist told me that I was "such a pretty girl" that I had to vote Democrat. He thought he was complimenting me, the patronizing little jerk. Somehow here in Nerdworld, the only reprehensibly offensive male sexist pigs I've met have been self-identified leftists and liberals. Why is that?
More recently, an open Bush-basher (another white male!) told me, in tones of deep compassion, not to worry about being single because I still have a few years left to find a man (!). And he didn't even know about my personal politics. He simply asked about my "status" and then offered that extraordinary piece of "comfort" as if I were some kind of poor little girl who needed a big brother to look out for her. Compassion or condescension or both? Ugh. I wanted to punch him right in his sympathetic, helpful smile.
And so far, we're not even talking about politics yet. Speaking of . . . FYI, loopy leftists and identity-baiters, I vote with my brains, not my ovaries. And -- gasp! -- I vote on issues and policies, not identity politics! I'm also not going to let ANYBODY tell me what to think or do, regardless of party or affiliation. I'll decide for myself, thanks. So what is MM, gender traitor, thinking about these days in terms of policy? Lowering taxes, growing the economy, cutting government waste, reducing government, and encouraging individual responsibility, a real work ethic, and reform. Plus NO tax-and-spend statism!

Because you've fallen for the propaganda that "liberal minded" is the same as "open minded." In my experience they are way different.
Brian, you are SO RIGHT. Plus, the more fool I for expecting people to behave like civilized human beings.
