Article here. Excerpt:
'A Democratic congresswoman claimed this week that victimizing women is practically a right of passage in the United States, and that doing so is even “as American as apple pie.”
Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.), a victim of abuse herself, was recounting her reasoning for voting against the “fake” Violence Against Women Act reauthorization during a call in to Current TV’s “Talking Liberally with Stephanie Miller.”
“Victimization of women is as American as apple pie. I think people accept it and men’s right [of] passage, men’s rights as boyfriends and husbands,” Moore said.'

What if identity of the group were different?
"'Victimization of women is as American as apple pie. I think people accept it and men’s right [of] passage, men’s rights as boyfriends and husbands,' Moore said."
If anyone were to replace the words: "men," "men's," "boyfriends," or "husbands" with: Black, Hispanic, gay, lesbian, woman, wife, etc. it would be considered hate speech, according to the PC, special identity rules and the Main Stream Media would be all over it so how can this elected rep. get away with uttering such flagrant hate speech?
