In reply to the discussion: “If...” A Dog Whistle Only Women Can Hear [View all]LiberalAndProud
(12,799 posts)I have little to add. That phrase more than any one thing that Romney had to say during the debate spoke to me about exactly where Romney will take our society if given the chance. He finds women in the workplace distasteful. This worldview grows from his privileged, conservative background, and from his religious tenets. His carefully concealed religious fanaticism peeks through in these telling phrases. Women who failed to hear this whistle have a shock in the future should Romney be elected, may the gods prevent.

For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14)[/font]
