Republicans Have Weird Ideas about Women

[Vomit warning:  Do not read if you have eaten less than two hours ago.  Just go read Doonesbury for a while.]

And yes, I'm counting Donald Trump as one.

When host Greta van Susteren asked Trump what he thought of polls showing that women really do like President Obama, the business magnate suggested that perhaps their ignorance prevents them from seeing things the way he does.

"Well, maybe they don't know him [Obama]. Maybe they don't get what's going on," Trump said.

Oh, I think women "get what's going on" just fine, Mr. Trump.  Maybe, though, you don't.

And here's someone who claims to understand biology:

“If it’s a legitimate rape,” he said, “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

He said his understanding of the issue came from “doctors,” though he did not specify what kind of doctors – or what, exactly, constitutes “legitimate rape.”

Sorry; I'd have to see the research results first. Because that's not the way bodies work, toots.

These guys didn't wank enough as teenagers, poor things. [/sarcasm]
