That's because no REAL men are leftists!
Leftist punks (pencilneck anarchist pieceniks especially) are real tough guys. They like to get in the faces of women and intimidate them. Real tough guys. I did have fun blowing cigar smoke in the face of one of the tough guys(a bearded East Lansing socialist) who was doing that. He just smirked, knowing that there wasn't anything he could do about out except walk away.
I was standing out in the street to take pics of them, and my dad *literally* kept grabbing me and yanking me back to the sidewalk! :)
I don't blame him. He didn't want you to get decked by those 'tough guys'.
