“men trying to demean women”, which the “slut” term certainly did.

Ok Charles, I guess a woman testifying before Congress on National TV, that she in fact is a self described slut, doesn't count, in your book. Women who want to be sluts, don't seem to need our help.....Student Sues College, Says Roommate's Active Sex Life Drove Her To Deep Depression...

There are terms that describe this that are not so derogatory and demeaning. Plus, not every girl who is on birth control would fit the denotation of the word “slut” either. Any girl who decides to be sexually active might want birth control, even if they only sleep with one guy and are in a committed relationship.

WHich I’m sure some people would still say qualifies as being a “slut”. But my point wasn’t even whether a term would apply — I’m talking about the OUTCOME of the statement. I don’t want to get into an argument over whether women should be called names or not, it’s enough for me to point out that the results of that action have distracted us from the real issue, and given the democrats a big leg up, and helped hide the facts of THIS story we are reading here.

And yes, his statements have had the effect of helping the democrats label the issue as “men trying to demean women”, and if you don’t see that, it’s because you don’t want to believe the facts. Not that we ARE doing that, just that this is what the story has been turned into, because of the statement.
