Daddy is Protecting Me! President Bush is my Daddy!!!!!
Advertisements [?]
I know there has been some writing about this phenomena by more qualified people than me since the Iraq Disaster began, but I have a new angle that I would like to introduce.

This protection response to The War seems to be used more often than not by Men and boys than by females. In fact, I believe all of the groups who are "protesting the protesters" in Crawford are groups led by men and organized by men. As well as their founders...are men.

(Now don't get all twisted up you men reading this. I am not being "reverse sexist" or whatever. :eyes:)

Female voters and candidate supporters have had to endure lots of stereotypical and often untrue labels when it comes to politics and voting over the last 85 years. Most recently it was the "Security Moms" and before that "Soccer Moms" and before that there have been many "explanations" of the woman's vote. And it was usually described as "those girls vote for the Man who projects the most Fatherly protection" type crap or it would fault them as just dumb broads who voted like their husband told them to.

Who is out in front on the Anti-War Message right now? And who has pushed for 9/11 investigations?

Cindy Sheehan
Code Pink
Cynthia Mckinney
Kirsten Breitwieser
Nancy Pelosi

I know there are many other women in the forefront I am not listing here. But what bothers me is that there aren't a whole hell of a lot of male politicians or citizens out in front on this.

So who the hell is the weaker sex?
