His comment that megyn Kelly was hormonal due to her menstrual cycle has gotten him alot of fake outrage on the right this morning. I don't think he should be banned from any right-wing loon event. He's their front runner. He represents the GOP. Let the Donald speak.

(37,364 posts)I don't think so. This is a man who is holding himself out there to be the leader of the nation and, as such, someone who would be affecting the lives of women here and in the world. I highly doubt that the other candidates on that stage disagreed with him and I would wager that some of them talk disparagingly about women in private. The whole party needs to be called out especially since elections keep being thrown to them either by gaming the vote or people sitting on their votes.

(3,580 posts)Erik Ericson has made sexist comments for years and the right-wing has supporters him. The Donald didn't say anything they don't believe. The Donald went after one of their fox pundits.that's the fake outrage. The Donald represents what many on the right think of women. By attacking megyn Kelly for having menstrual cycles he is just saying what most right-wing men believe that women are too irrational to have any power. Let the Donald speak, let him continue to articulate the GOP position on women's rights.

(135,425 posts)could probably be counted on to say as much, and WORSE, about women, minorities, you-name-'em, behind closed doors, and the "fakeness" is that they are pretending otherwise.
It's rather hypocritical of them to ride to Ms. Kelly's defense on their oh-so-white steed, while denying basic medical care to women over their objections to a procedure that is the law of the land.
I wouldn't be surprised if "The Donald" takes a page from your remarks, and does, in fact, call out his GOP associates on their hypocrisy. You know that if he was sitting with them and they said ANYTHING sketchy, he would repeat it! Hell, he gives out their phone numbers without batting an eye!

(14,530 posts)an interesting point. Republicans have said things like: real rape, some women are so easy to rape, no abortions no exceptions, if you get pregnant through rape, make lemonade, fought against birth control coverage, keep an aspirin between your knees and so on. But talk about a woman menstruating THAT is a bridge too far for them.
Are they fucking serious?
