Washington Post: Boxed Into a Corner, Men Can't Punch Back

Article here. Excerpt:
'The point is not to suggest that either Obama or Biden should come out swinging ugly slurs, half-truths or outright lies. But the conventional wisdom seems to be that the men on the Democratic ticket can't tell Palin precisely what they think of her moose, her hockey pucks and her Joe Six-Pack-isms. If a fella should try, he will be perceived as a bully, as condescending, as ungentlemanly.
...
But the reality is that women can deliver a straight-up beatdown as well. In a post-feminist, Title IX culture, there is significant evidence that women are fighting more like men -- and men don't know how to respond.'

Oh, the horror, the horror.

And that this should be happening to two, politically correct, Democrat men! Oh, the horror, the horror... :-) :-) :-)

Not in this case. I'm laughing at Joebama, not weeping for them.
lol
I can't help but agree. GynObama and Biden have been spewing so much female asskissing that it's kind of like poetic justice that they've been put in this position.

Real Men Don't Take Abuse!
Palin's Your Example?
I question the sanity of anyone who believes that Gov. Palin has somehow "gotten off easy" since being named a running mate. The media have done everything in their power to destroy her, and she's still standing. You forget that she's a REPUBLICAN woman, and they can't stand that.
Men's Rights + Women's Rights = HUMAN Rights
While your laughing at Obama/Biden
Those same women are beating up on YOU as a man as well. Men's response? To log-on and write stories about women rather than face them economically and emotionally in real life.
