You've probably heard about the comment that Janis Sontany made about female conservatives in the state legislature:
"You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can't find out by how they vote."
Stupid comment? Yes. While I'm sure it drew a positive reaction from the crowd (the comment was made at an event to honor Jim Cooper), the idea that a member of a certain group has to vote a certain way in order to prove they belong is just utterly ridiculous.
Why do so many on the left insist on putting people in political boxes based on their socioeconomic group, sex, race, etc.? I like the way that Adrienne Royer put it:
Women on the left have determined that they decide the correct attitudes and opinions for all women. The rest of us should just follow them and issue fealty to the Democratic Party. They are the Voice of Women,™ and it is not our place to question it or diverge from the sorority.
While I'm sure that Sontany will have no problem securing the endorsement of NAARL, EMILY'S List, etc., don't look for this blogger to give her a round of applause.
