ROCKPORT, Mass. -- An offhand remark suggesting the woman head of the town's governing board "go back to the kitchen" has landed a veteran local official in hot sexism water.

As Harry Truman used to always say. if you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

That’ll show’em how tough she is... Go complain to the “authorities”...

We’ve raised a generation of people who think they have a right to not be offended by something. They have no clue what the first amendment really means or how important it is.

I give them way more credit than that. It’s a way to run to their mommy and get their way. Fifty years of this cr** and we haven’t learned that yet?

What a big cry baby. She can’t stand any heat, so she’s out of the kitchen and in the parlor. Well, it’s either roses on the piano or tulips on the organ. It’s tough out there.

Unless it was her boss or someone with some kind of authority over her this should not be any kind of case.

Then again, I guess all mean are in authority over all women, right? Maybe thats her point.

lol.

Massachusetts is the state where I once saw a woman get into a vehicle with an attached bumper sticker which read “Equality to a man, why lower myself?”

For you men who think a woman’s place is in the kitchen, remember... that’s where the knives are kept.

Could be that socialist men took the cork out of the bottle when they let loose their raging sexist dogs on Sarah Palin for a year. This is like something Jon Stewart, Demonrat hero, would say about Palin. Socialist women thought it was so funny. Now they don’t like it so much.
