It's a kick in the face to any woman who ever tried to make a serious statement in public is what it is. For me, a total flashback to Anita Hill on Congress trying to explain to a bunch of fat white MALE fuckheads why it might hard to work in an environment where your boss acts like a pig, and listening to them oink in incomprehension. F: Health insurance should cover oral contraceptives because this is good public policy. M: Hey! You're a woman! F: No shit. I am here to testify on house bill blabla, which would prevent me from getting the coverage I wish from my employer-sponsored health insurance. M: I bet you are. Tell me, honey, do you swallow? It's really not that big an exaggeration. The only difference is, the people holding the hearing did not include Rush, and *they* didn't even bother to listen at all. Wasn't this some sort of second hearing held by Democrats because the first one didn't invite any women to testify at all? Besides, Rush is to blame for this.
