“Actually, despite the Oprah ratings (which I haven't seen but will give you the benefit of the doubt there), 98% of Americans polled this week say she's not news for them.

There's a small hard-core group of far-right wackos who LOVE her. They are all white, as far as I can tell, and mostly racist and ignorant, in some cases actively aggressive with those traits. As for the book sales, most of the copies were purchased in advance by right-wing organizations for fund-raising purposes. The book is currently on sale for less than $5.00 at some stores - less than two weeks after it was released for sale at $19.95.

We'll see what the future holds.”

“Faved and fanned! This should be repeated often by commentators until it is just as much of a stigma to do that to women as it is to do that to men (you're right, never happens).”

“Flagged as favorite.

I can't believe how many commenters think this is just fine and we women should "lighten up".

Hey, Guys: we've heard that applied to rape plenty of times, too. And we should lighten up about domestic violence, too. NO. How would YOU feel if you were systematiclly treated as "less than" your entire life? If people told you to lighten up when people made demeaning jokes about you?

Geez.”

“It's a simple picture and people are going completely nuts over a stupid picture.

No one should ever light up over rape or abuse but this is a simple picture nothing more

Can anyone take a joke anymore? I guess only a few can acually take being the butt end off a joke these days without going mental over it. Have any of you people ever made a joke or laughed a joke or are we as a nation becoming the world's worst crybabies?”

“I would feel like I was at work.

If one more testosterone bag at work tells me to "lighten up" I will be earning my black belt in prison.

Enough with treating women like third-class citizens.”

“"Somewhat annoying"?

No worse than South Park? This is about the House and the Senate - not Comedy Central. South Park insults everyone - they are equal opportunity insulters, and that's why it doesn't offend me. But the House and the Senate is a different forum, and we women deserve respect in society.

You must not have experienced much sexism. I envy you that. Obviously you have not observed our legal system much. It places a high value on prosecuting women - not defending them. Just look at a typical rape case or domestic violence case.

Unfortunately, I have to my knowledge met very few women who were not raped or assaulted as young girls or children, myself included. I hope you're not one of them but I also hope you become aware of how much sexiam is out there in our society and the need to have no tolerance for this mkind of "humour" - particularly in a so-called reputable publication as TIME.”

“That's it.

I am about to lose it completely. So fed up with this sexist b* l l @hit.

This is why one of the parties needs to truly stand up for women's rights, quick, or there will be a third party who wins because it finally recognizes women, minorities, and the LGBT community.

I pledge solidarity once again with all the above groups. Eventually we will be the majority and then what will the Great White Man do? Commit acts of terror? Commit mass murder with a firearm until he's taken down?

Sincerest apologies to all the GOOD white men out there - I know you exist.”

“Well spoken. Fanned.
However, the problem with plurality is that it does not encourage the same lock-step loyalty as divisive macho conservatism. We should keep trying, though. Some of the neanderthals never though we'd get this far.”
