Article here. Excerpt:

'NEW YORK — Men behaving badly. It wasn't a topic that Terry O'Neill expected to find high on her agenda as new president of the National Organization for Women, but she's tackling it with zest and determination.

"Men behaving badly is exactly the problem in this country," she said in a telephone interview. "It's not a diversion — it's at the core of why women are unequal, why they are kept in second-class citizenship."

O'Neill didn't drop the topic after issuing her statements. NOW urged its supporters to rally outside movie theaters in support of victims of rape and sexual assault, and O'Neill wrote to the president of CBS, which airs the "Late Show," requesting a meeting and urging the network to appoint more women to its board of directors.

"We're living in a time when women who put themselves forward as leaders are subjected to vicious misogynistic attacks — it's very analogous to sexual harassment in the workplace," she said in the interview. "The message to other women is, 'Stay in your place.'"

At first I thought she was talking about a tv show called "men behaving badly" or something. But she's claiming that men as a group behave badly and that causes women to be treated as "second class citizens".

Of course anyone on this blog knows that women never behave badly *eyeroll*.

Is it possible this woman initiated sexual contact with Letterman? Typical feminist -- chastise a man without knowing the facts. Nothing more then a bunch of complainers.

Mark my words: NOW will lobby Congress for more absurd sexual harassment laws.
